“Aromas of chocolate, star anise, spicy pepper, raspberry and cloves come forth on the nose. On the palate there is great weight and nice tannin intensity. This gives way to Flavours of mocha, cherry cola, coffee and chocolate with a subtle hint of smoky leather and cigar box. This is a very versatile food pairing wine that would go well with grilled red meats or beef carpaccio. All in all 2010 was a great vintage for our Nota Bene with very ripe fruit, thus enabling this wine to show a wonderful complexity.” GRAHAM PIERCE, WINEMAKER
