Tasting notes

Dark red with a bright red rim is an excellent indicator of this wine's youth and freshness.  The nose and palate have a wide range of barrel and fruit notes including toasted oak, cocoa powder, and red fruits like plum and cherry, while finishing with dark chocolate.  Once decanted the wine develops a soft and lush mouthfeel with some wood tannin on and back of the palate.
