TASTING NOTES:
Tobacco
Black Cherry
Earth
This wine is a great candidate for decanting. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes, allowing tobacco, earth and cardamom aromas to join hints of potpourri. The palate is dry, with an even balance of acidity and tannin supporting black cherry, pomegranate and blackberry flavors.
