Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, plush texture. The detailed aroma is led by by black cherry, tobacco, and oak, with soft suggestions of plum, chocolate, and vanilla. The tanginess is high, giving way to a long, intense finish.

The nose is a voluptuous tapestry of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel, expertly woven together. On the palate, a full-bodied wine unfolds, with a decadent dessert of caramel and chocolate cake, accompanied by a generous dollop of creamy goodness.
