Blind Assessment

Opulent, perfumed and deeply fruit-toned. Black raspberry, ripe plum, guava, orange blossom and dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Vibrant, winey acidity; full, creamy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is exceptionally persistent, with black raspberry, orange blossom and dark chocolate lingering long.
