The Wine: Deep garnet colors with a beautifully complex bouquet of allspice, cassis, and well-travelled dusty leather. The wine opens with polished, juicy black cherry mingled with clove, sweet tobacco, and jasmine tea. Finishes rich and balanced, yet spicy and smooth. Enjoy with the heartiest of food pairings now, or cellar until 2030 to allow the full nuance of flavors to develop.
