Nose
dramatic spice aromas that include cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa mixed with blueberries and raspberries
Palate
the palate comes to life with refreshing flavors of red cherries, cinnamon, and vanilla. There is a decidedly earthy quality about this vintage with distinct mineral notes and nuances of menthol. Smooth and supple, this wine is extremely well balanced and enjoys great length.
Aging
