Dark garnet in the glass, this wine has a nose of pomegranate, black cherry and tobacco leaf. A soft note of eucalyptus is first to hit the tastebuds and is rapidly followed by blackberry, cassis, caramel, clove and violet flavors. Tannins roll in hard and heavy and then drift off into a long, satisfying finish. Drink through 2034. Cellar Selection.
