Expressive notes of licorice and candied violet on the nose accent flavors of blackberry paste, black cherry pâte de fruit, ground coffee, dried sage and tar in this dark, rich red, which is brightened by the tang of orange peel acidity. The sculpted tannins show a velvety edge that aids integration and the overall harmonious feel. Best from 2025 through 2034. 20,000 cases made, 7,500 cases imported.  –AN
