Wow! This is a really great Gravelly Meadow. It is very dark in color and has a stunning perfume showing a myriad of black fruits.

Tasting Notes

Hiding behind the gorgeous sweet fruit, fragrant notes of cordial, cocoa and liquorice emerge with time in the glass. Laser-beam precision is supported by the finest, grippiest tannins imaginable.
