The nose is powered by scent of oak, with subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with ripe and tight tannins. A very good length with a blend of black fruit and toasty notes.

High-pitched, with a strong savory note amid the red currant, blood orange and bitter cherry fruit flavors. A brisk-edged chalk accent lines the fresh finish.The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, moderate depth, just a touch of powdered dark chocolate sprinkled over the black fruit.
