Smooth-textured, elegant and plush, the wine serves up a fine balance of blackberry, cocoa, tea, plum, spice, raspberry and herbal notes, neatly framed in fine, ripe tannins. The finish has a hint of anise and toast, lingering nicely.

Smooth, ripe texture frames this classy blend of anise, blackberry, black cherry, plum, coffee, tea and herb flavors. It’s pretty toasty on the finish, ending broadly on the palate.
