On the palate, the tannins are firm and structured, supporting ample currant and fig flavors, as well as enticing baking spice.

The mid-pallate is packed with dense flavors of red and black fruit, exotic spices all harmoniously balanced together.

On the nose is an enticing floral aroma of espresso roast, melted chocolate and black currants.
