Very good deep red-ruby color. Fabulously expressive, superripe aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, maple syrup, toffee and roasted oak, with a floral topnote adding complexity. Thick, silky and amazingly sweet, with outstanding depth of flavor. As opulent and exotic as this wine is, it maintains lovely flavor definition. The toffee and smoky oak notes repeat on the palate. Suave tannins are buried in fruit. Wow!

had with Raz, Jas and lily at hawksmoor. more sweet than left bank wines due to more merlot. very smooth and soft. took a couple of hours to open up properly (tight tannins before it opened)
