Deep red with purple hues. Aromas of raspberry and blood plum. The palate bursts with concentrated flavours of blood plum with spice and cherry. The finish is long and powerful with rich, mouthfilling tannins and underlying mocha oak. "Deep, dark red colour, virile aromas of punchy red fruit, cherries currant and plum, rivulets of spicey vanillan oak, menthol and dark soily, crushed leafy elements. Mount Ida is nothing if not well figured with long fruit and gritty, hazelnutty, chocolatey tannins. It finishes lingering and with poise, closing to aftertastes of coffee, warmly liqueured maraschino and currant!" -CabernetFrank.com, "Wild ride this little black beauty, soak it up with good meats or a gruyere fondue!" -Pinotpower.com
