Silky tannins and an inky blue-purple color, opens with the most beautiful red rose and lilac scents with red and black cherry compote and hints of cinnamon stick, earth, stewed tea, cigar box and forest floor. The palate is full-bodied, rich and seductive with incredibly perfumed fruit and a satiny texture, finishing very long. This is a concentrated, well-balanced wine, with terrific fruit intensity and palate presence.It is fat, it is opulent, it is delicious.
