"You know you've achieved perfection not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away."
Description: Alively deep purple colour - lively and sparkling. Powerful, yet wonderfully elegant. - A touch of spice with a ripe red-berried fruit follow. The rich bouquet follows to the palate well and shows a hint of berried sweetness. A hint of layered oak adds to the complexity. Long lingering aftertaste.
