Tasting Notes
-
A pleasing bouquet greets the nose with notes of plum, blackberry jam, chocolate, toast, roasted coffee, vanilla, perfumed violets, pepper, anise and baking spices. Up front the wine starts out round and robust with a silky weightiness that carries flavors of plum, prunes, cinnamon, blackberry, toast, mocha, tobacco, currant, pepper and blueberry. The mid-palate features good weight and depth. Tannins firm up slightly, without being astringent or drying, for a luscious finish.
