Description
tasting notes
Inspired by the opulent right bank blends of Bordeaux, this wine is built from fine-grained Merlots and the elegant refines of Cabernet. Dense aromas of persimmon, pomegranate, clove, nutmeg, lotus flower and allspice evolve in multiple layers. A mouth divided between roses and oolong tea, builds generously into a rich seas of Sabra, dusty gravel, and sweet black tea. Plush and generous, this wine truly defines elegance.
