FUSION V 2013
TASTING NOTES:
The nose reveals vibrant, tightly knit aromas of creamy black and red berries,
with supporting nuances of dark, bitter chocolate, leather, cedar as well as hints
of black pepper.
The pallet is very elegantly packaged, a true left bank Bordeaux styled blend,
showing amazing concentration, complexity as well as restraint. The wine entices
with flavors of clean black and red fruit, a perfectly balanced acidity, finished off
with fine, integrated tannins.
