Lively aromas of dried roses, currant, lavendar, anise, and pepper are interwoven with nuances of cocoa, tanned leather and humus. The complex aromatics reverberate on the palate and are framed by opulent huckleberry and blackberry fruit and plum. The palate is soft and round with exceptional length and balance.
