Layered aromas of cassis, mulberry and violets with mocha, bay leaf, and tobacco. Juicy ripe plum fruit on the palate flows into firm fine-grained tannin and a long cassis, graphite and mineral finish. Dark, plush and powerful, balanced with a maritime freshness – this Bordeaux-styled blend has serious rockstar energy and the stamina to evolve to 2040.
