Impressive aromas of red currants, blackberry, plum and cherry with notes of sweet tobacco, pencil shavings, clove, coffee bean and mocha. On the palate, outstanding flavors of cherry, blackberry, plum, cassis and huckleberry with layers of vanilla, toffee, cedar, cinnamon and salty minerals. It is well-structured with a silky texture, firm tannins and long, opulent finish that promises excellent evolution with age. Aged 22 months in French oak.
