Sophisticated layers of wild blackberry, forest, and baking spice mingle on the nose with violets, leather, and vanilla. A well-structured palate is artfully balanced by fullness in fruit, fine-grain tannins, and well-suited acidity. Morello cherries appear with black pepper, lavender, and cocoa powder on the palate. Towards the close, darker notes of walnut and dark plum emerge and continue throughout a lengthy finish.
