...very harmonious...it seems to combine power with good freshness...generously oaked and hedonistic, lush and ripe, nicely balance...
Perfumed black and blue fruit and licorice aromas and a hint of pipe tobacco all show very good definition and pick up a smoky note with air. Smooth, appealingly sweet and sappy, offering concentrated blackberry, cherry and spicecake flavors lifted by a spine of tangy acidity. Velvety, slow-building tannins add shape and subtle grip to the finish, which hangs on with strong, spice-driven tenacity.
