Winemaker's Notes:

"Dusty chocolate and Carmel aromas layered with bright fruit notes and oak. Velvety and intense, aromas of cassis and black berries meld seamlessly with notes of chocolate, and anise. This is an elegantly structured wine with silkiness through the midpalate and a persistent, juicy finish. Incredible concentration of flavor. Deep, coating tannins ensure that this wine will age beautifully in the cellar. The rich, plush mouth feel elegantly transforms into sweetness by supple tannins and lovely oak integration. A wonderful mineral note shines through the whole experience. Layered, complex and lingering, a true wine drinking experience. Wonderful now, this will will however benefit from further bottle aging reaching its peak in 5 to 7 years but drinkable for 13 years."
