“Dark garnet. An expansive bouquet evokes candied cherry, coconut, mocha, cured tobacco and spicecake, and a floral nuance builds in the glass. Sweet, open-knit cherry-vanilla, blackberry, coconut and rose pastille flavors are complemented by hints of smoky minerals and candied licorice. The long, gently tannic finish shows no rough edges and leaves spicecake, cherry liqueur and dark chocolate notes behind.”
