Tasting notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this blend shows inviting aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and cherry, layered with notes of cedar, dried herbs, and a touch of spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with supple tannins and bright acidity giving shape to the dark fruit core. Subtle accents of cocoa, tobacco, and vanilla add complexity, while the finish is smooth, balanced, and lingering, with a gentle earthy nuance.
