Appearance
Deeply concentrated ruby color at the core with moderately staining, slow-forming tears on the glass.
Aroma
Powerful and assertive with distinct notes of ripe blackberry, black currant, and huckleberry cobbler, along with sweet tobacco, leather, violet, and mixed herbs.
Palate
Following suit with the nose, the palate is bold and dry, with rich, well-integrated tannins and a complex mix of fruit and spice elements. The dark cherry, mission fig, and bramble on entry are balanced by blonde-roast coffee bean, dark chocolate, graphite, and savory herbs. The long, layered finish shows depths of fruit along with vanilla bean, cinnamon, clove, and subtle cardamon notes.
