Nose
concentrated notes of cassis, fresh-baked cherry pie, milk chocolate and pain grillé, the wine shows a muscular tannic structure and offers nuances of forest floor, black pepper and star anise
Palate
This is an extraordinarily dense and fruit-filled wine with a generous mouth feel and a lingering note of vanilla bean on the finish.
Aging
22 months, 63% new oak, 37% 1 year old oak (75% American; 25% French)
