Nose
aromas of dark cherry, currant, and blackberry. Followed by vanilla, sweet herbs, and dark chocolate for a rich and layered nose.

Lush dark fruit melds with dark chocolate, toasted hazelnut, and tobacco. This vintage is both serious and soft, given the abundant palate and firm but finely-knit tannins.
