It is neither filtered nor fined and sees time in French oak before bottling. The nose shows dark-berry fruits, toasty oak, raisin, ripe cherry and red pepper. The palate has boysenberry, plum sauce, dark licorice, fruitcake, thyme and oak spice. The finish is moderate, with espresso, toasted oak and candied berry.
