Tasting Note

This blend opens with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, black currants complemented by subtle notes of tobacco and hints of baking spices. Flavors of dark fruits are prominent on the palate with interwoven nuances of dried herbs and a touch of vanilla. Well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity provide structure and aging potential.
