Tasting Notes
This voluptuous, highly polished Cabernet shows remarkable composure having an amazingly smooth palate for such a concentrated wine. The pleasant nose teases with notes of baked bread and sweet pipe tobacco with a dense core of dark berry fruit mixed with an ethereal aroma similar to warm blackberry pie spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
