Nose
A dense curtain of tears
forms when swirled, and the perfume rising from the glass invites you in.
Palate
First flavors of
dead-ripe black cherry and dark chocolate swirl into puff pastry and warm current pudding.
Very smooth tannins lead to a lush, soft, finish reminding me of expensive suede.
Aging
20 months in 88% French Oak, 12% American, 63% new
Appearance
This delicious wine leads with a riveting color of deepest indigo.
