Palate
Smooth and round with a beautiful complex mouth feel. Firm tannin’s that get silky and softer on the palate. the aging of the oak and the aroma’s that comes with them is well balanced with the dark fruits. Lots of coffee, caramel, honey, dark chocolate, and tobacco on the palate.

Finish
Long, lingering, complex and balanced. With some elegant and velvet tannins.
