Producer tasting notes: (2018 vintage) "This year Ares is black on black in colour. The immediate bouquet throws you roastedmeat, pain grillé, dried herbs, both blue and black berries, sage, warm earth and tea leaf.The palate is silky and soft. It caresses your tongue and then rolls straight to the late palate. This pull the magic act of being a big wine in a small wine’s body: It creeps up on youslowly and effortlessly, Man this is a seriously fun ride! It rolls and and rolls along and thetannins never really seem to dissolve or stop; pure silk is the best way to describe it. In theend you’re left searching for the acidity, fruit and tannins as they are all so weldedtogether." - Two Hands Wines
