13.0% alc.. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Exotic perfume that gathers intensity and spice over time in the glass, sporting aromas of blackest cherry, violets, burnt tobacco, warn leather and earthy flora. Aging beautifully with years ahead, offering a mid weight charge of black cherry and blackberry fruits with added notes of spice, cola, BBQ rub, tobacco, herbs and earth. A complex wine with merged tannins and a slight citrus note on the finish. Holds up well over time in the glass. Drink now to 2028. Score: 95. Reviewed September 3, 2017
