The nose was very alluring, showing soft cherry fruit along with chocolate, vanilla, and classic Graves smoke. On the palate, it was soft and elegant, with slightly tart cherry up front and a smoky, earthy mid palate. The finish was medium in length, carrying cigar, cedar, and smoke with mostly well-balanced fruit. A really harmonious bottle where the really complex nose carried straight through to the flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat happens next\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour bottle will be carefully hand-packed in our mail-safe wine boxes to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
