Exquisite nose with aromas of black cherries, blueberries, plums, violets and forest floor notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, flavourful with slightly dusty tannins and lively acidity. The finish is medium-long, slightly tangy with flavours of red and blue fruit, white pepper and fine mineral notes.

What a delicious wine experience! Such an interesting, unique wine. At first, the aromatics felt like a Pinot but the mouthfeel was more like texture of Nebbiolo. Such an interesting wine, thank you @premiumportugalwines  for this delicious recommendation. I picked up this gem Cork & Barrel Spirits Merchant here in Victoria.  Beautiful wine boutique with a great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff.  I will be back for more.  Load up the car!  🙂 Cheers my wine friends 🍷
