Description
Deep, dark red with a lighter vermillion edge. Stewed fruits, dried apricots, fruit cake and some raisins. Very complex nose with a slight hint of nuttiness at the end. Palate: soft tannins, velvety mouthfeel with the dried fruits in abundance. Not overly sweet, but very layered with prominent nuttiness and a very long lingering aftertaste. An excellent partner to superior cheeses
