Tasting Notes:
Exotic nose that floats gracefully between powerful black cherry, soy-like gamey notes and perfumed and lifted floral incense.
The intensity of the color and the complexity of the aromatic profile give a hint to the power within this brooding wine.
Bouquet of black pepper, bacon fat and black truffles.
Spice notes pick up on the palate amidst a wave of dense black raspberry and olive tapenade flavors.
Subtle and sweet, yet persistent tannins bring a level of added intensity to this powerful, balanced and concentrated expression of Jonata syrah.
