Having this for a second time and absolutely love it. Plenty of depth and character. Black Cherry notes with a decent amount of black pepper give way to a long finish with clear notes of the oak. Sometimes the wood is too obvious, but here it's perfect. Well done.

This wine erupts from the glass with elaborate aromas of dried fig, mango chutney, tobacco, black pepper and raspberry. Aromas of vanilla, black cassis and crushed rock soon follow the initial brightness. On the palate enjoy notes of raspberry, vanilla, and creme brulee. Cocoa, vanilla and rich black licorice define the mid-palate, paired with floral gems of chamomile and black tea. The finish explodes with exquisite tones of tobacco, sandalwood, graham cracker, coffee and cream combined with clove, anise and chocolate. This wine will pair beautifully with a grilled steak or a variety of pork dishes. Enjoy this wine after decanting for thirty minutes. Drink now through 2025.
