Friday, February 9, 2024 - Decanted and let breathe (which it still needs). Light sediment
Deeply scented with notes of smashed blackberry, cassis, plum and blueberry that are met with scents of mocha, cigar box, suede, black licorice, vanilla, and touches of black pepper, herbs, shoe polish and felt-tip markers.
The palate is full and rich with velvety full tannins and a touch of VA.
Rich flavors of macerated blackberry, cassis, leather, mocha, pepper, liquid violets, anise, herbs and touches of pepper and vanilla creme. The finish is slightly warm and lingers with good fruit intensity.
