Lots of fruit; tastes much younger than it is! Bright cherry, sandalwood, red currant, touch of clover.

4th & final birthday wine! Found this gem hiding in my wine fridge from our wine tasting in 2003. Luckily half the cork was still in tact. Very full body, great bouquet & smoothie!

Spicy and dry, it was will balanced with currants and a hint of cassis, tannins still working hard. Oak is coming into play to Smooth this wine out.
