Dark Olive and Purple hue. The deepest and richest little red wine. The complexity of the perfume makes me stop and smell for an extended moment. Cinnamon, fresh torn bark, rosemary, fresh tobacco, muddled plums, black cherries, rose petals, milk chocolate, plunger coffee. It smells like the ideal Sunday morning breakfast – soft and welcoming with warm spice.

The wine will require some time to open, yet the impressive length and vertical tannins are incredibly tempting immediately. Once awake, beautiful salty liquorice, red and black pepper, and clove spice wrap a brooding core of plum, ripe blood orange and blood. Cracked fennel seed amaro finishes the wine with a lovely, salivating bitterness. It's super delicious to me – very balanced and promising for the years ahead.
