Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaFresh cedar chest, licorice root nose with pepper, cassis, black olive, smoky pencil lead aromas. The attack is dry, fresh, smooth and elegant palate with light tannins and more coffee, pepper, vanilla, black olive, black berry fruit flecked with resin, licorice root and tobacco. Fine intensity and persistence with a spicy clove, herbal note.
