Nose
Give it time to open and experience tar and charcoal on the nose, hints of graphite that pop up in various stages, and black plums that seem to frame the tannins.
Palate
Velvety/rose petal smoothness followed by notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and purple fruit stay with you to the back palate and through an extended finish.
Aging
50/50 New and used French Oak
Food Pairing
Game or lamb pair magically well, and if you have the time we recommend decanting for an hour before your meal.
