Lot 444 explodes with bright cherry & acacia flower & quickly opens up to reveal a core of spicy cherry pie, blackberry jam, & toasty oak, with top notes of graphite & wet stone. Soft and simple in red fruit, dried herb, spicy clove and milk chocolate, this is a generously full-bodied, ripe and lush wine. The tannins are gregariously ingrained and demanding of attention.
