Chocolate red raspberry on the nose and a strong red currant berry with a hint of cedar.

Wait, wait! This wine has nothing to do with or resemble in any way 'chocolate'.

Rich, sumptuous and delicious from magnum. Only downside is the strength and ensuing hangover!

2014 vintage. The blend is Syrah grenache and CS + others.  Chocolate hints are shown on the nose and palate. Some spice and some floral character. full bodied and flavourful smooth tannins.

Used to utilize it exactly as the name suggests. Giving away to ladies to make their life a bit sweeter. It does work. No chocolate, a very thin may be even subtle aroma. Currant, a bit of other dark berries and spices taste. This one had better years and hopefully some good ones ahead.
