...fabulous combination of intense, rich fruit and savory/earthy undertones. Black cherry, dried herbs, leather, licorice and sweet pipe tobacco build in the glass.
Roasted Mediterranean herbs to the black cherries. Dense, with dark fruit on the palate, but quite bright and vibrant, too, with a sour black-cherry character coming through. Really juicy and flavorful, with solid, creamy tannins.
...exotic bouquet of blueberries, flowers, violets, pepper, and bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied on the palate...terrific sense of elegance and purity, fine tannins, and a great finish.
