Rich, floral -like a Margeaux, but with a sweeter note- with black and white pepper behind the dense fruit.

Benefits form a decanting to smooth the alcohol out. The nose is peppery but tastes of dried fruit that have been soaking in a brandy for a while. Super smooth and luscious.

Rich and velvety texture bursting with jammy red and black fruit. It finishes with a bit of spice and green pepper which helps balance the unctuous quality. It would be very easy to drink a lot of this and not realize it.

Nose: very ripe cherry, taste: red fruits, lighter bodied, lighter tannins, hint of pepper finish. “Chugable” but wish there was a little more depth. Occasionally a cheaper wine bitter finish.
