A wine of luxurious texture & verve. Ethereal perfumes of potpourri flowers & spice lift from the glass, swirling in smoked cotton candy,seductive suggestions of tobacco leaf, licorice & mint on the palate. Tart cherries & strawberry preserves emerge from dark chocolate, pure beams of opulent fruit form a graceful balance with silky tannins & mouth watering acidity.Touches of earth & herbes de Provence a lingering, spicy, peppery finish.
