9.6

Simply rich red with a pale pink rim.
Warm, rich, toasted and toasted notes overwhelm the olfactory profile; chestnuts and truffle come forward.
On the palate it is tannin-rich and round in profile.
Medium bodied with a medium finish that begs for reproach as a nutty quality carries oils across the tongue.
Uniquely excellent.
