Rich, full-bodied wine with a velvety touch and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm composition to the wine. The nose is powered by by eucalyptus, with elegant whispers of cassis, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, the wine is noted for by a smooth evenness of eucalyptus, blackcurrant, and oak, with a long, lingering finish.
