The nose reveals beautiful dark, ruby, cassis. Blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum skin, hints of raspberries a cinnamon/spice blend, clove, dark rich soils, black licorice, sweet tarriness, a little tobacco, leathery notes, whiff of graphite, stones with fresh, dark, red, blue, purple flowers and violets.

The body is medium. The tannins round and powdery. The wine is gorgeously elegant & sexy. Blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum skin, hints of raspberries, cinnamon, spice blend, clove, dark rich soils, black licorice, sweet tarriness, a little tobacco, leathery notes, whiff of graphite, stones and fresh, dark, red, blue, purple flowers and violets. The acidity is ridiculous. The well polished, balanced finish is simply sexy & gorgeous.
