The High Road Director's Reserve presents itself with an expressive bouquet of powerful plum aromas, blackcurrants and mineral hints of graphite. On the multi-layered and softly textured palate, delicious nuances of cassis, dried tea leaves, fragrant cigar box and milk chocolate fan out, accompanied by subtle hints of anise and nutmeg, finishing with a grippy tannic framework in a long-lasting and immensely smooth finish. A masterful and highly prized world-class Bordeaux style cuvée!
