    Deep garnet color with aromatic cherry, rose, leather, and dill aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, and slightly tannic, but with a smooth texture. It shows tart cherry, pomegranate flavors. Medium/long finish.

    Garnet color with a brick hue and thin meniscus. Shows complex aromas of dried cherry, orange peel, camphor aromas. On the palate, it's exceedingly smooth, elegant, and Burgundian with dried cherry, spice flavors with a savory undertone. Long finish.
