Intense and inky red; complex and concentrated mixture of licorice and cassis with a dash of chocolate and mint gently supported by vanilla oak characteristics on the nose. On the palate, opaque plum flavors in addition to a stunningly sweet bouquet of ground pepper, blackberry liqueur, and subtle toasty oak. Surprising nuances, full body, great purity, and an opulent, super-concentrated mid-palate finish emerge from this fresh and well delineated red. Enjoy with grilled meats and a wide variety of cheeses.
