Description
Aromas of black plum, aniseed and saddle leather rise from the glass. This wine is smooth at first sip and has flavors of blackberry, raspberry, bittersweet chocolate, clove and a touch of cherry pipe tobacco. Velvety tannins ply the palate and drift into a finish marked with a note of sage. (Best Buy)
