   Tasting Notes

This wine presents an inky violet color, opaque to the rim. The aromatic profile is complex, revealing dark cherry, espresso bean, river rock, and cigar box, complemented by nuanced dried herbs and a hint of blackberry pie. On the palate, cassis, macerated boysenberry, sweet spice, and tobacco leaf merge with dark chocolate truffle. Its voluptuous, mouth-filling texture is seamless, leading to a long, delightful finish of juicy fresh berries, vanilla pod, and a whisper of cedar.
