Aromas of dark black and blueberry, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, oregano, and paprika fill the glass, while the palate exudes rich and inviting flavors of blackcurrant, cassis, dark chocolate, berry compote, thyme, and cedar.  The textures show a very dark, brooding entry with a broad dense mid-palate surrounded by a velvety mouthfeel and a long lingering finish that has real staying power.
