TASTING NOTES
Intense aromas of blackcurrant and cherry along with smoke and tobacco notes. Aged in both old and new French oak barriques for 16 months, the wine is full bodied with rich and elegant textures. Beautiful elegant and silky entrance of fresh dark cherries, a seam of exotic spices entwined with physical tannins with a layered powerful core of forest floor notes of leather and fine of toasted oak. A truly beautiful example which will cellar well over time.
PAIRING
Pairs wonderfully with white meats and roasted vegetables.
