Nose

Earthy black raspberries, black currants, crushed violets, tobacco leaf, dusty plums give way to nuances of tea, dried orange peel, black cherry, and mocha.

Palate

The entry is simultaneously seamless and powerful, with massive flavors of ripe black cherries. Hallmarks such as immense fruit concentration, amazing balance, present but supple tannins could very well be indications that this is the finest Tenacious produced to date.

Aging

barrel-­aged for 22 months in 70% new French oak barrels. The result is a wine with enormous impact.
