A supple red, with floral and cigar box aromatics accenting the creamed cherry, raspberry coulis, red licorice and herbed black olive notes. The velvety texture wraps around a dense core of fine-grained tannins, which emerge to create a firm, chalky impression on the finish. Decant this to enjoy today, or cellar to allow further integration and grace.

In the mouth it is powerful great body and balance. Despite its structure, the passage is gentle and very pleasant, with a long and very persistent aftertaste.
