Nose
Enchanting
aromas of blackberries, melted toffee, cigar box, warm
cherries, cocoa, winter spices, and truffles.
Palate
The mouthfeel is
tantalizingly silky, focused, and chewy, coating the palate with
a sweet mix of black and red fruits framed in deep layers of
fine grained leathery tannins that build in successive waves
over the extremely long finish. Drink now or cellar through
2035.
