The nose is pronounced with aromas of oak (vanilla, tobacco, chocolate) black fruit (cassis, plum, blackberry) red cherry leather, green bell pepper and mint. The palete is dry with medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium body and medium+ finish. I get flavors of red cherries, blackberries, blueberry, vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, iron, leather and mint. Soft tannins, good concentration and definition of aromas.
