Beautiful and tightly-wound with incredible purity. The nose offers sumptuous cassis, tobacco leaf, black cherry, cedar and violet candy notes over deeper black licorice and balsamic aromas. In the mouth the palate opens with a super silky fanfare, unfurling layer upon layer of red and black fruits and spice box flavors, all underlined by plush tannins and a very long, driving finish. This wine will age effortlessly for many years to come.
