Deep ruby in colour with an intense nose.
I feel the sale price is the proper price for this wine.
Positives: An intense wine featuring cedar, black currants, peppercorn, cherry, tamarind, leather, tomato leaf, sage & eucalyptus. Medium+ body with medium tannins, good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: A touch hot from the 14% alcohol.
Interesting Notes: Santa Ema is a sustainable winery. Amplus is Latin meaning: important, honourable, eminent, & distinguished.
Drink now on its own or pair it with mustard crusted lamb chops with mint sauce.
