Nose
Wild, perfumed aromas of cassis, blackberry, minerals, tobacco, iron and mocha.
Palate
Juicy, very intensely flavored and sharply delineated, but tightly wound; flavors of raw dark berries and licorice in the middle palate. Strong framing acidity gives the fruit a juicy quality. Finishes firmly tannic and long, with the notes of mocha and iron repeating.
Aging
Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.
Appearance
Dark ruby-red.
