Decadently juicy with a fragrant nose of vanilla, cherry, and leather. Wonderfully rich and supple on the palate, expressing lush black cherry and blackberry flavors, this wine is complex, complemented by notes of molasses, cocoa nibs, and thyme.
Introduced by a beautifully elegant nose of violets, ripe berries, and toasted vanilla with subtle hints of white pepper. As the wine opens up, it displays fragrant notes of lightly roasted hazelnuts, espresso and sweet tobacco. On the palate this wine delivers flavors of ripe cherry, rich blueberry, savory herbs and cocoa on the finish.
This utterly decadent dessert wine features vibrant notes of fresh mission figs, black raspberry, vanilla, and hints of green and white peppercorn spice.
