Tasting Comments
The color is a deep garnet purple, and the aroma offers powerful notes of creme de cassis, plum jam, and blueberry pie.
There is also a hint of potpourri, incense, subtle tobacco leaves and cedar.
The taste is full-bodied, firm and muscular.
The mouthfeel is powerful, with a granular texture, and is as dense as a tightly woven knitted garment.
It's packed with black berries that lead to a beautiful, pure finish.
Even at release age, you can experience the greatness of this wine, so please do not hesitate to uncork it.
