Tasting Profile

| Taste: | Black cherry, blackberry preserve, black currant, licorice, cocoa, slate mineral, spice box, tobacco, toasty oak and cracked pepper. |
| Finish: | Finishes longer than the hangtime on a 98-yard punt, with dark fruit flavors that last extra long. Plush tannins gradually show themselves as fruits fade while spice and earth remain. |
