Top Notes For
Tree Kilpatrick

Interesting nose. Some Zin aromas of cherry and licorice, but some other element. Like linseed or camphor. Taste is excellent. Explosive mountain fruit and jammy stuff. Leather and bark too. Hint of spice box. Finish hits a bit more fruit and caramel then I love but the tannins come through too. A complex and unique foothills Zin.
