Exquisite ruby color with intense ebony hue. Captivatingly complex nose of gingerbread, black cherry, rose, cinnamon and bitter chocolate. Round and full-bodied, rich and weighty on the palate. Superb concentration of spice, kirsch and semi-sweet chocolate on the finish with an exotic cinnamon note lasting a full minute. This is an exceptional wine that may be enjoyed after decanting (15 minutes) tonight but will continue reward those with patience, peaking 2016 – 2017 in our estimate.
