Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Night’s purple veil creeps in making things not quite what they seemed. The charming cottage is a bit more foreboding and your courage - lacking. She beckons. Through the mist you follow the sandy garden path, past a plum tree and a shrub weighted with green olives to enter a room which smells of tobacco, white pepper and the cassis now being poured. She is seated in the candlelight, a deck of cards & old dusty stones before her. She turns one card then stares into your eyes.
