Description
A gleaming, obsidian-dark Coleraine ’20 flashes in the glass. Its depths glimmer with wild roses and cedar, blackcurrants, dark cherries and plums—a rapid symmetry of perfectly ripe, dark fruit. Notes of cocoa-nib, thyme, and layer upon layer of fine tannin are polished to a mirror finish, shimmering the length of the wine.
Replete in detail. Out of darkness emerges an immense wine of clarity, concentration and focus. Coleraine 2020 is a perfect vision.
