Friday, December 28, 2018 - 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot aged 30 months in oak.
Moderate sediment detected on decant. Deep, opaque and glass staining purple/red.
The nose opens with complex aromas of dense dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry compote that are knitted with scents of vanilla, herbs, tobacco, pepper, baking spice, cocoa and a hint of toasted nuts along with the warming sensation from the alcohol.
Full bodied on the palate showing ripe-full-fine tannins, above moderate mid-palate density, alcohol and acidity. Rich and dense flavors penetrate the palate with luxardo cherry, cassis, fleshy black plum and berry compote, vanilla, herbs, spice, ganache, tobacco and hints of roasted hazelnut and cedar. The finish lingers.
