The bouquet opens with dark cherry, blueberry pie, and boysenberry, layered with notes of tar, milk chocolate, and licorice that become more expressive with a little time in the glass.\n\nThe palate is rich, powerful, and beautifully polished, offering waves of dark cherry, blueberry, raspberry liqueur, boysenberry, and light chocolate shavings, all carried by a long, almost endless finish. It is already impressive now, but it has the structure and depth to evolve gracefully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Selection is made only in vintages where the finest vineyard blocks reach outstanding ripeness and quality.
