The sweet fruit flavor and solid structure play off each other as this evolves. Starts with floral, cherry, strawberry and licorice flavors, melding into the firm, resonant tannins as the finish extends. Complex, balanced and set for a long life.

A dense and polished red with dark berry, dried strawberry and black pepper aromas and flavors. Full body, polished tannins and a crisp finish.

Iris, leather and scorched earth aromas come together on this. The savory palate offers crushed raspberry, cinnamon and star anise alongside velvety tannins.
