Tasting notes

Intense and graceful, the nose introduces a fine concentration of Cassis and highlights of cedar, anise, and vanilla bean. The palate shows generous layers of bramble fruit and licorice followed by subtle nuances of white pepper. This bold and dense red is incredibly well balanced with fine tannin, elegant structure and a lengthy finish.
