Top Notes For
My wife's score with my notes...
Visually the wine is impenetrable. The nose is rich and opulent. Maple syrup, maraschino cherries and sweet tobacco greet the palette.
On the palette, the wine is dense with some heat on the mid palette. It's voluptuous and decadent - huge extraction. Sweet blackberries and plums finish the show. This is a one-night-stand, Albeit a pleasant one.
