Sweet aromatic notes lead into a soft, open, deep set of flavors. Balanced and perfectly–I mean perfectly–symmetrical, this shows both sweet and savory notes that are nuanced and lovely. Powerful and persistent in flavor, with interesting intricacies as well, this is a stunning wine that shows just the slightest alcoholic heat in the finish.
