Appearance: Black-red with a lighter edge. Aromas: Complex yet delicate nose of white pepper, fig reduction, black raspberry, cardamom and prosciutto. Palate: Layered and packed with fruit. Mouthfeel: Round with powdery tannins that are both balanced and concentrated. Finish: Dense tannins carry the layered fruit for a lasting finish. Ageability: This wine is concentrated with a warm tapestry of flavors. It is enjoyable now and will age nicely over the next four to seven years. Pairing: Savory duck cassoulet.
