Dark garnet towards royal purple in color, the nose displays notes of ripe blackberries, cherries, black currants, star anise and pipe tobacco. Full-bodied, with good concentration and a silky texture. The palate shows layers of flavors, with notes of ripe black forest fruits, licorice, fennel, black pepper, cigar tobacco and roasted espresso beans, with medium-plus acidity and slightly chewy tannins coating the mouth, highlighting notes of baker’s chocolate on the long and elegant finish. This wine is Kosher for Passover
