Heady. Lusty. Posh wine with a few seductively abrasive nips. So many black currant jam tarts garnished with greens and someone was eating it while writing thrash poetry with a number two pencil nearby. Got it?

These guys really know what they're doing. Wonderful blends that really should see at least 5 years bottle age. This one is showy enough now, but would be much better in another 3-4 years.
