Top Notes For
David Shaw

Purple red, highly extracted pigment, good clarity. Plum and cherry notes in nose initially with a hint of prune, herb and butter. Herbal and red fruit (cherry, raspberry) flavors, slight cool blue fruit finish. Slight seed bitterness on finish. Good balance, soft mouthfeel. Black olive and tar flavors emerge after an hour
