Product details
Medium ruby with a dark core and slightly faded edges. Powerful yet sleek nose of blackberry, cassis, kirsch, leather, and cigar box. Concentrated and lush on the palate, with elegant flavors of crushed violets, licorice, espresso, vanilla bean, tobacco, black tea, and fresh laurel. Layered and complex, with a near-perfect balance of savory and earthy tones that offset the ripe black fruit. Velvety smooth and silky, with rounded tannins. Loads of structure indicate a long life ahead.
