Nose

Intoxicating nose of high-toned herbs, lavender, raspberries, blackberries, sandalwood and saline. Swirling brings up cured meat slathered with a berry gastrique and spice.

Palate

The mouthfeel is sweet and savory with glycerin and bitter herbs. This wine is staggeringly smooth and will be fascinating to try over the next 5-8 years.
