Perfumed with blackberries, plums, flowers and sandalwood. Complex aromas. Medium-to full-bodied with very fine, integrated tannins that coat your palate. Flavorful and long. Some wood at the end, but so fine. Drink or hold.

Oaky scents of vanilla and cream enrich an herbal nose that sports a note of eucalyptus along with black fruit aromas. On the palate, this is flush and smooth, but kind of soft and creamy. Vanilla, coffee, tobacco and wood spice flavors blend with ripe blackberry and black plum notes, while this is generously oaked and thus tastes chocolaty on the finish. Drink through 2028.
