This wine is decadent with chocolate covered cherries and steeped blackberries similar to cassis. The oak on the palate is well managed with a creamy and silky but slightly chewy and rich texture. The fruit is a mix of ripe berries with vanilla, nutmeg and clove, cocoa and black pepper with dark chocolate. The finish has a line of smoke with blackberry compote and some inkiness.
