The color is impenetrably purple-black leading to a bouquet of super-ripe black-currant fruit and accent notes of spicy, high quality French oak. On the palate the wine is velvet-plush, smooth up front with a bit of tannin at the back for structure and focus. Flavors are of ripe, sweet fruit, with a hint of fresh rosemary, chocolate, even fine tobacco on the finish.
