Deep, dark, intense Black-purple color. Aromas are very high-toned with exotc dark-fruit perfume of very ripe, juicy black-cherry fruit & sweet oak spices. The opulence fruit on the nose carries through to the palate as do the exotic spices. The tannins are initially cedary & add grip. Alcohol adds a little warmth. The long finish combines cinnamon spices with juicy black-fruit.
