Opening with aromas of macerating blackberries in mixed spices both sweet and savory with swirling aromas of tobacco and violets and subtle note of singed sage. The seductive palate draws you deeper into the core of the wine as macerated black cherries and plums define the wine today but savory elements bid there time as hints of bay leaf and black tea develop with time as elegant tannins genuflect, this wine has both charm and intensity.
