Aromas of ripe blackberries, bright red currants, savory herb, and sweet pipe tobacco are highlighted by vanilla and sweet spice. The ripe fruit flavors carry through in the palate with a light touch of acidity. Sleek tannins lead into powdery tannin on the finish.
91 - Wine Spectator - Polished and rich, with expressive and easygoing toasty mocha, blackberry and orange peel accents that build toward refined tannins.
