Cornelia Constanza

Tasting Notes:

A full-bodied, elegant and refined wine, tannic while remaining velvety smooth with gooseberry, toffee, cinnamon, cardamom and sichuan pepper, finishing very long on the palate.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS: Drink now through 2035. Recommended to be decanted 1 hour before enjoyment.
