Tons of fun. Luscious vanilla. Aggressive herbs. Smoky. Juicy red fruit. Low alcohol, exceedingly complex with a bracing structure of acids and tannins. Quite a long life ahead. Sticky finish that extends like an ellipsis.

The nose offered a beautiful array of cedar and blackberry. The palate was similarly balance. A nice woody start with a very nice dark fruit finish focusing on a chocolate cherry note. It has a nice balance between earthy and fleshy
