Nose

Bright with ripe, purple fruits, this wine will impress with complex, layered aromas of black licorice and briar patch.

Palate

The silky entry progresses along the palate and gives way to dense, velvety chocolate and toast. Full-bodied and concentrated throughout, the wine lingers on with a long, layered finish.

Aging

16 months in French oak (73% new, 27% once-used)
