Bright with a deeply concentrated purple/ruby core that extends nearly to the rim. Thick tears form slowly on the glass and leave substantial staining. Powerful and complex with notes of ripe black cherry, blackberry preserves, dried plum, and plump blueberry with herbal notes of sage, tarragon, fresh tobacco leaf, saddle leather, white pepper, toasted cinnamon, nutmeg, and oak. Full-bodied with intense flavors of black cherry, boysenberry, cassis, and elderberry on entry with notes of leather, dried herbs, clove, nutmeg, sweet tobacco, camphor, and rich velvety tannins appearing on the mid-palate. The finish is long featuring rich dark fruit and subtle notes of dried rose petal with toasted oak and lingering mouth-filling tannins.
