Deep garnet hues with aromas of cranberry, cassis, and black cherry, anchored by notes of forest floor, marjoram, and cardamom. Flavors of black raspberry, mission fig, and spiced pomegranate are complemented by Mexican chocolate, leather, and sweet spices. A firm palate evolves with brooding tannins and a lingering finish. Aged for 28 months in 75% new French oak. Only 196 cases produced.
"Aromas of cassis, blackberries, plums, cedar, tobacco and spices. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity, showing black currants, dark cherries, olives and graphite. Concentrated yet fresh, with good depth and balance and a long, savory finish. Drink or hold." 92 Points - James Suckling
