Nose
Aromatically we find raspberry, strawberry, plum, ripe sweet cherry, vanilla bean, cognac (a la cherries jubilee); bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, brown sugar (a la great brownies); hints of tobacco, exotic sandalwood, and white pepper.
Palate
The wine has very good impact in the mouth with all of the aromatics showing nice intensity. Length of flavor is excellent and the texture is rich with just enough backbone to lend structure.
