Superripe aromas of roasted currant and tobacco. Lush and seamless on the palate. Finishes with substantial palate-saturating tannins and excellent structure.
Dense, rich core of fleshy, mocha-laced currant, fresh earth, plum and blackberry fruit, then it firms up with rich, chewy tannins, but the flavors push throught on the finish, revelaing added facets of depth and concentration.
