Big warm blueberry, rye bread with caraway, baked brownie, loose cigar tobacco and five spice with sweet smoke. The wine is almost black, concentrated, and star bright. Big coffee on the palate, cloves, black pepper, roasted sesame seeds and ripe black currants in mocha. Really a balancing act, that comes off like an Haut Brion blend. Maybe a touch of Cab Franc?
