Super dark purplish ruby red, almost black and completely coats the glass. Layered and thick nose with tobacco, dark berries, dark baking spices and at a high intensity. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and loaded dark fruit attack; black cherries, cassis and even blackberries. A bit of espresso too. Full bodied with an insanely long finish.

Whole berry fermented and aged for 22 months in 80% new French oak barrels. Only 1,130 cases produced.
