“A tour de force, despite the sheer morass of palate-staining fruit. The malty oak is evident, yet operates as a welcome adjunct to corral and compress the swashbuckle of coffee grinds, beef bouillon, mint, leather varnish and saturated dark cherry liqueur, into a sheath of tension as much as sheer power. Grapes are dried for 70-80 days. This may seem obvious initially, but as one works it out in the glass and across the inner gums, the multitudinous layers become evident. A wine that shape-shifts and beguiles, as much it wrestles with the senses. Excellent. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, 98 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta, 10% Croatina.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
