Nose
Dark and extracted with
aromas of cassis, plum, blackberry fruit
with round and chewy but fine grained tannins.
Palate
Nuances of cedar and nutmeg spice.
The long flavors continue to evolve after
decanting, which is suggested for near
term drinking. The wine shows exceptional
balance between its accessible fruit and
underlyng structure.
