This wine is described as opulent and garnet in color, with notes of cherry, cassis, clove, dark mocha chocolate, and toasty vanilla. The palate features a dense structure with flavors of plum, lavender, and a hint of tobacco, supported by bold yet smooth tannins and a full-bodied mouthfeel. It has a lingering finish of fruit and spice.
