Comes out swinging with a bold, full-throttle nose of creamy oak, black cherry, vanilla, chocolate, and espresso, layered over hints of tobacco, cedar chest, florals, and black olive. It’s intensely fragrant and unmistakably powerful. On the palate, it’s dense and structured, with firm, chewy tannins and a dry, dark-fruited core featuring blackberry, coffee, and a ripe, warming finish. The tannin profile is chunky yet refined, giving it serious grip and age-worthiness. Bold, built, and unapologetically intense.
