Intense and expressive aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry compote, and dark cherry. Underlying notes of graphite, cigar box, and warm vanilla from oak aging. Hints of cedar crushed violet, and a touch of cocoa powder add complexity. Full-bodied and richly textured with firm, structured tannins. 

Flavors mirror the nose: blackcurrant and dark plum lead, followed by layers of mocha, black tea and baking spices.
