Midnight-purple core, with dark ruby edges. A refined nose of plum, black-cherry cobbler, fresh mint, cocoa powder, violets, pipe tobacco, cedar, and licorice. Meticulously balanced on the palate, with a full body packed with seductively ripe black berries, spearmint, savory herbs, dark spice, chocolate nibs, and rose petals. The tannins are ripe and supple yet present, and they carry a powerful finish of framboise, toasted spice, and lavender. A triumph today that is sure to exceed expectations in the years to come.
