Nose
Notes of toasted oak, rose petals and dark cherry pie filling are bursting on the nose.
Palate
The palate is BIG! Bright acidity and tart red fruits mingle with darker notes of bittersweet chocolate wrapping up a cassis berry. The finish is long with expressive tannins and a very silky mouth feel.
