“The powerful bouquet of black currant, red plum, raspberry, rose petals, anise, black pepper, pencil shavings and hints of leather engage the nose immediately. A distinctive black raspberry front leads to a luscious mouth of black plum, red currant, pomegranate, sweet tobacco, cocoa, and cassis. The layers of complexity in the mid-palate give way to the young, well-integrated tannins for a long, lingering finish.” – Marbue Marke, Winemaker (300 cases)
