Subtle dusty purple perfume.
Supple, depth of sweet & sour. Quite vital. Chewy skin tannin.
@Esoterica Bonny Doon Vineyard Cigar Volant '08 merci to @Rémy Charest for vintage check reminder.

Dust and cherry liqueur, softened tannins. Mature nose. Not a lot of structure left, drink up. Still, quite lovely & a great accompaniment to a hearty winter meal (Fabada).
