Color of burgundy. A bit more brown than usual, and a bit hazy/cloudy. Nose is simply beautiful with wave of sweet tobacco leaves and nice oak, and a bit leathery. Taste is a harmony and chewy. A mix of tobacco leaves, oak notes, sugarplum, right amount of tannins, subtle dark fruits, and black pepper. The flavors are so saturated and so enjoyable. No need to breathe at all. Aftertaste is long with dominant flavors of almost everything present in the taste, and some additional bittersweetness. A charming wine.
