Vintage Notes

Black cherry, currant nose with smoky pipe tobacco, caramel notes.  Very fruity lively attack boasts ripe plum and cherry fruit accented by licorice and earthy qualities in the background.  This wine delivers excellent fruit concentration, depth and density.  Think barbequed meats with rich sauces and marinades.
