Kirsch, cassis, dried figs, crushed dried roses, leather, cinder, cigar box, iron, dried oregano, graphite, thyme, mint, rosemary, forest floor. Rounded acidity, smooth firm velvet tannins, full bodied, satin texture, incredibly long smoky-herbal-slightly floral finish. Highly aromatic, perfect weight/texture, drinking at its peak. Harmonious in every way, decant for at least one hour. Superb!
