TASTING NOTE: 

Stunning wine! The nose has Framboise, black raspberries, some blueberries, lavender and liquorice. Incredibly smooth. The wine effortlessly goes down. No heat, no bite, just smooth nectar. This is a big powerful wine, yet so deft. Black and red raspberries, layered and starting to show some real complexity.
