Top Notes For

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Very dark color, rich fruit aromas with sweet tones. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with sweet spice and cacao notes, rich tangy juicy full flavors. Soft full tannins, lingering with smoky oak and earthy ending. Perfect to drink now.

Raspberry chocolate and tobacco and cedar. Hints of clove with a medium body. Acidic and a little hot for my liking. The lingering alcohol dominates any other flavor leaving little finish.
