Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Medium Ruby with intense aromas of floral, spice and sweet tobacco notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with licorice, tobacco and cinnamon spice. Lively acidity, good balance, fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herbs and earthy spice. Very nice, just starting to drink well, should develop nicely over next decade. Tasting Sample.

Caitlin's graduation - wine #2 of the night. Continuing with another Italian. Subtle. A strong 4th place finisher for me.

Delicious! Heavy tannins, well structured wine. Some dark fruits with predominate notes of black pepper, vanilla and liquorice.

Chokladig doft, lätta vaniljyoner. Tegelbrunt. Smak av vanilj, sträv med krydda och rund bas. Tanniner!
