Top Notes For

ABreu fruit. This has shed its puppy-fat. Much more ethereal presentation. Lovely cedar notes, complemented by lightly roasted coffee.
On the palette, the wine is clean and pure. Nice density with oodles of barrel toast. Ripe black cherry fruit act as a perfect counter-point. Beautiful tannins with bright acidity. Very enjoyable.
