On the nose

Black cherry, plum jam, and cassis in the foreground. Underlying notes of cedar, vanilla, and fine roasted aromas from barrique contact. Slight tobacco and leather nuances appear with aeration.

Structured and full, with fine-grained tannins. The acidity balance is harmonious. The finish shows spice and dark fruit, long and warm.
