A ripe wave of forest fruit and plums is spiced with toasty vanilla and cinnamon, rolling along on a texture that’s both velvety right now and promises solid evolution in the cellar. Carob and graphite are interwoven with mulberries and cigar humidor, all ending on a cocoa-dusted thread of cassis. Drink or hold.

Extremely intense and ripe aromas of baked blackberry, stewed strawberry and creamy cassis are potent on the nose of this bottling. The palate is very thick and viscous as powerful flavors of oak, vanilla and baked fruits are cut by a persistent tannic grip.
