tasting notes:

on the rim: deep, dark, shiny eggplant with touches of black cherry and ruby

on the palate: explosion of cedar, cinnamon and cooking spices with black currant, thyme, rosemary, cigar box and graphite

on the nose: juicy entrance evolving on a dense mid-palate with granular tannins, but coated with a sweet fruit like plum, lingering on graphite and blackberry jam
