TASTING NOTES
Aromas of crushed blackcurrants, dark cherries, and wild blueberries, combined with notes of lead pencil, graphite, sweet tobacco, lavender, and subtle gravelly mineral undertones. Full-bodied and impeccably balanced. Tannins are fine-grained, firm, and extraordinarily dense, delivering a long, smouldering finish.
