...classic fruit-driven notes of black cherries, wood smoke, cedar, and floral notes. Clean, balanced, straight, and lively on the palate...
...nose of pipe tobacco, saline, sage and garrigue with wild blackberries, black cherries, oolong tea, cola, red cranberry and rhubarb. Medium-bodied and silky textured, it gives concentrated fruit, savory and spice layers with firm, grainy tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and layered.
