Intense black red hue in the glass. Pungent aromas offer white pepper, black olives, sweet dried plums, citron, vanillin, and dried lavender. The palate is vivacious with blackberry, smoke, dried herbs, a core of rich earth, and a hint of tar. The finish shows no sign of yielding with everlasting dried herbs, rich tannins and punctuating acidity. Unfined and unfiltered. 25 cases produced.
