Aromas of brandied cherry, crushed violet black pepper and a whiff of exotic spice lead the way. The round palate doles out dried plum, raisin, nutmeg, vanilla and a confectionary note alongside velvety tannins. Drink 2016–2021.

This offers aromas of raisin, mature black fruit and spice. The palate is very lush and ripe, with plum and black cherry flavors layered with oak, chocolate, vanilla and espresso accents. It might not have much personality or complexity, but the flavors are defined and alluring.
