"Opaque purple. Sexy, oak-spiced blueberry and mulberry scents are complicated by notes of fruitcake and violet. Deep and pliant, with a velvety texture to its sweet dark berry, coffee and vanilla flavors. Open-knit and drinking well now; the smooth, gently tannic finish leaves a trail of dark berries and mocha behind. "

Product Description:

"A black hole, a dark star of intense opaque glass. Please note, lips, teeth and anything else that comes in contact with this turn purple. Spill this wine and it will stain something. You have been warned!

The first thing that comes to mind when you stick you nose in the glass is a compote of blueberries,blackberries and the finest darkest 99% Cacao chocolate. Hints of cinnamon, spice and exotic smells of fresh black pepper, opening lilies and saffron. This is an absolute blockbuster. Intense fruit but soft, a velvet glove over and iron fist. The palate shows notes of dark leather and dry high cocoa tannins and an almost chocolate truffled pallet, supported by creamy blueberry cheesecake and fresh uplifting powerful pure blackberry. The Knight's Errant is too long in the mouth to describe except to say it is hauntingly long in the echoes of flavor. Also interesting to note this wine can be left open in the bottle for quite a few days and still looks very impressive and that we consider the Knight's Errant to be a vinous time capsule that will benefit from bottle ageing, especially under screw cap, a Knight-exemplar if you like." - Importer
