Nose
Black cherry cola color; a sensual buffet of aromatics that includes black fruit compote. White hot charcoal, wood embers and roasted Herbes de Provence, shitake mushrooms and soy sauce.
Palate
The palate is as explosive as the aromatics focused on dark chocolate with hints of charcuterie, roasted earth, and black cherry.
