Top Notes For
Nick Brandon

Crimson and dark lightening to magenta at the surface.
The nose is rich and round, reminding me of flaky pastries; echos of oak are heavily present. The similaries to Malbec seem clear.

However, surprising acidity contrasts and lifts a plummy richness accumulating in a medium to long finish.
The initial flavor upon each sip is striking and lays itself out on the plate in a thick carpet.
