"Quintessa 2006 opens with sweet and inviting aromas of bright black fruit with red fruit
undertones. It announces itself dramatically with a full lush entry, developing into a broad,
rich and enrobing wine that coats the mouth with rich black fruit laced with a touch of mocha, licorice, sandalwood and vanilla spice. With tremendous density, concentration and ample fine tannins, this vintage is full and dramatic early and will age gracefully."
