From magnum. Sleek and focused, this has an old school feel to it. Trades weight and density for cut and structure. Distinctly floral on the nose, with crushed red berry, mint and cocoa on the palate. This can sleep a few years. Quite nice.

Well balanced with superb balance of black fruits, subtle oak, earthy undergrowth, mouth feel and acidity. Notes of
blackberry, plum, cherry, earthy, blackcurrant, and black cherry

Violet, red flowers, juicy red cherries and blackberries, clay, mushroom, stony characters, black pepper, hints of basil and thyme. Slight oak influence, medium to medium plus acidity and tannin, medium body.
