Gorgeous aromas of pear, grapefruit, orange blossom and lemon zest open up on the palate to include white peach, kiwi and melon notes with a lush, lip-smacking texture.

Inviting aromas of fresh cranberry compote and ripe raspberries are followed by sweet scents of sandalwood and dried rose petals.

The palate offers an almost unreal texture as the fruit gains depth and the ripe nectarine flavors are carried by its lovely texture and pronounced oak.

The palate gives way to an even-keeled expression of cherries, violets, umeboshi, savory tannins and licorice.

This vintage is beautifully balanced with complex notes of opulent black fruit, dark chocolate, roasted espresso beans, and hints of sage and fennel on the delightfully satisfying finish.
