Big spicy aroma of dark fruit and tobacco? Initial burst of raspberries with another raspberry/ tobacco / leather layered taste in the middle. Eucalyptus and mint? A quick finish. Very different.

Very interesting - robust fruit forward tone with mild tannins and hints of cherry. Eucalyptus on the nose and finish. Pair with spicy red curries.
