The fresh, medium to medium+ intensity nose leads with a perfumed vanilla note layered over ripe red & black currant, herbaceous, and sweet tobacco aromas. The dry, medium-bodied palate has pleasing aroma replays supported by supple, well-structured tannins with a plushy mouthfeel. Acids are nicely balanced. Earthy, tobacco, and fresh herbal notes linger on the lengthy finish. Tasted Nov. 2024.
