Exceptional
Deep garnet-purple in color and strides confidently out of the glass with aromas of rich of crushed blueberries, ripe blackberry, cherry, cassis, tobacco, and hints of lightly toasted vanilla. Delivers a full-bodied palate chock full of black fruits, framed by rich and ripe structured, yet smooth tannins with a bold freshness.
