Aged: 11 Years

Aromas of cassis, sweet toasted oak and cedar combine with a hint of lifted cognac, while all is wrapped in the subtle smoky notes of bottle maturation. Flavors of ripe black currant evolve through a long graceful profile, with sweet molasses, dark fruit and a fine tannin frame. The wine continues to show great structure.
