Matured for 24 months in 1-4 year old French and American oak hogsheds.
Very deep midnight black core with a black dark red hue. Pronounced dark plum, blackberry and liquorice aromas merge with vanillin oak, hints of leathery nail polish like characters and spice. Rich and lush, the palate is caressed with a wave of succulent dark plum and blackberry fruits which morph into spicy vanillin oak and earthy leather elements on the back palate. Velvety yet sturdy tannins with the acidity still quite bright. Medium length aftertaste.
Cellar 2-3 years.
Alc. 14.5%
