This rich, broad and velvety wine offers wonderful layers of black fruit and oak spice, carried by a gently tannic texture that makes it smooth but textured.
The nose is savory and nutty complemented by notes of dried figs and brandy cherries. The flavors are reminiscent of dried apricot and Brazil nuts with subtle leather and white pepper notes, followed by a soft decadent finish.
Fresh aromas of juniper and sage unfold to smoked jerky and cassis; the palate is dark and juicy supported by fresh cigar and toffee flavors; followed by dusty cocoa powder & tight structure on a clean, focused finish.
Dark and savory this wine is complemented by juicy black cherries and subtle leather aromas, it is bright and voluptuous with warm baking spice and cedar character and a steady finish exuding ripe tannins.
