The color is inky black, opaque and profound. On the nose you get bright fresh black currant, black licorice, raspberry and blackberry, toasted almonds, cedar, vanilla, mint, dark chocolate, cardamom, black truffle , nutmeg and toffee. There is incredible complexity in the nose with great intensity. The initial taste brings an attack of currants, black cherry and rich vanilla in a very rich, dense mid-palate, with an incredible length that seems to never leave the palate, then finishing with cherries, cocoa, caramel and vanilla.
