Nose
Deep aromas of black plums, blackberries, blueberries, and ripe berries. Once it opens up, spicy hints and notes of cedar and leather appear.
Palate
Juicy and expressive. It has a very fruity and fresh mouthfeel. The mid-palate feels intense with notes of ripe plums, cassis marmalade, chocolate, and sweet spices. Its velvety and sweet tannins lead to a long voluptuous finish. Spicy aftertaste with raisin flavors.
