The nose is layered and expressive, with smoky tobacco, earth, loamy soil, forest floor, black cherries, plums, cassis, kirsch, gravel, espresso, minerals, and hints of exotic woodsmoke.\n\nThe palate is medium to full-bodied, lush, and richly textured, with ripe dark fruit framed by integrated tannins and fresh, lively acidity.
