Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
As I weaved gracefully through the grand ballroom, I noticed the pleasant aroma of raspberries and blood oranges and in the air. I caught sight of a charming stranger amidst the crowd, his magnetic presence drawing my gaze. I watched as a cigar box was opened for him. His eyes flickered with mischief and he made his selection, skillfully relieving the gentleman of his pocket watch. I smirked, noticing the subtle aromas of cinnamon, spearmint and high mountain oolong tea lingering in the room - a tantalizing backdrop to the daring feat I had just beheld. The pickpocket vanished into the crowd, his identity known only to those who dared to pay attention.
