Fragrant Purple flower, dark spice and black skinned berry aromas mix with new leather and pipe tobacco. It is both elegant, and enveloping, delivering ripe Marasca cherry cranberry licorice and hints of dried herbs alongside taut, velvety tannins. It closes on a note of coffee bean. Drink through 2027.
"This features core ripe, sweet plum, blackberry and spice flavors, accented by earth, wild herbs and tobacco. Though dense and muscular, there's also a beam of vibrant acidity that keeps this focused and fresh. Best from 2023 through 2042."
