"Real elegance here, with some vanilla, sweet spices, tobacco, plums and dark cherries on the nose. This is juicy, with lots of berries on the medium-bodied palate, following through to a tight, slightly chewy finish that will melt down in a year or two." - J.S.

This wine has a bouquet of cassis and aniseed. Dark-berry flavors mingle on the palate with firm tannins and notes of milk chocolate, dried herbs and coffee bean. A tight wall of tannins slowly drifts off into a vanilla-scented finish.
