Dark ruby. Flamboyantly aromatic, exotic nose features cassis, blackberry, kirsch, tobacco, star anise and sexy vanillin oak. Wonderfully fresh and focused on the palate, with sweet flavors of cherry, ripe plum, Linzer torte and Asian spices. Finishes fresh and not at all jammy, with firm structure and lingering notes of cherry and dark chocolate. This was made from vines planted in 1919. .
