Palate
blackberry, sweet cassis and black cherry fruit, layered with warm cocoa, licorice and a touch of tanned leather. This is a succulent, fleshy wine, with warming notes of vanilla and oak, cola and cardamom. It has a firm yet fine tannic structure and a sturdy, full-bodied profile that will serve it well into the next decade.
