Easy drinking for chianti though bold on the tip of the tongue. Raisiny, bright mid mouth, with hints of tarragon and tobacco. Earthy and level on the finish.

Not too in-your-face; has a complex flavor. Maple syrup aroma from the bottle but loses that smell in the glass. Has a subtly sweet, caramel-ish aroma
