Leather and tobacco driven wine with moderate cherry and plum notes keeping the wine in balance. On the palate, it was cigar box, mint and dill in addition to the flavors of the nose. Delicious.

Moderate dark fruit core backed by asian spices, mocha and a touch of creme de cassis. Palate is very rich plum and cassis fleshing out the strong core of spices and charcoal. Finish becomes pruney, with spice and charcoal. Good.

Moderate plus aromas of honeysuckle, red and green apple, peach and orange blossoms. Palate is balanced with prominent fruit and floral notes. Apple was the more prominent feature in this wine.
