Tasting notes :
An intricate, earthy bouquet of dried cherry, clove, cedar and sage is brightened by a cool touch of menthol. The palate is deep and highly textural, with a silky sweep giving way to layers of mineral-laced fruit and spice. Long and intense on the finish, it lingers with concentrated primary fruit, firm edgy tannins and a lift of residual acidity that keeps everything in balance.
