Description: The Chocolate Block is an exceptionally perfumed red blend, bringing complex aromas of red and dark berries, violets and intense white pepper. The dark fruit persists on the rich, textured palate alongside spicy notes of cardamom, clove and black pepper. A balanced structure with integrated acidity and powdery tannins. 16 months ageing in French oak barrels brings a distinct cedarwood character. A smooth and lifted finish.
