Effusive aromas of ripe blackberry, black currant, and black cherry fill the glass. Layers of cocoa, sandalwood, and dry, sweet herbs follow the fruit-fullness. On the palate, the wine presents ripe black cherry fruit with juicy acidity that lifts the flavors and adds a refreshing brightness to the wine. The finish reveals firm, mouthwatering textured tannins that persist in the mouth. With time in the glass, it gains in richness with many layers to explore.
