NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied Substance Bordeaux Blend Klein Vineyard (Bx) displays complex aromas of dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry, along with hints of tobacco and dark chocolate.The palate is filled with dark fruit flavors along with a firm tannic structure and a long, lingering finish. Delicious now, but it will cellar beautifully for many years.
