December 5, 2011 - Classic Bordeaux-like aromas introduce this wine, showing notes of cigar wrapper and pipe tobacco, black pepper, and dark stones. Tones of partially dried black plum and black currant show at the core, with singed rose wood, and saddle leather creating a deep earthiness.
Equally deep, dark, and dense on the palate, this wine artfully captures the Bordeaux style. Black plums and blackberries mix with notes of small black currants and dried forest berries at first. Earthy tones of suede and saddle leather, black pepper, tobacco and vineyard dust then make themselves known and blend seamlessly with the fruit into a lasting finish.
