Top Notes For
Garnet with purplish highlights. Once the "funk" blew off there were some earth loamy aromas mixed with cassis and dried flowers. Ripe red fruit dominated the core with intermingled favors of licorice and tobacco. Not particularly long on the finish the tannins had a soft supple texture.
