Xtant exhibits a beautiful dark brick color. On the nose, it unfolds aromas of black cherry, cassis, and blackcurrant. Dark fruit and blossoms. Dark chocolate and mocha dust. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar with slight leather and complex vanilla oak. Beautiful palate entry, with a slight, lifted cranberry note. Very long and seductive with the most elegant tannin structure. Still very tight - even better after opened for a few hours.
