Aromas of cocoa, black currant, vanilla bean and anise lift from the glass. Black licorice interlaces with the bright fresh acidity of dark cherry and ripe black currants balancing a creamy vanilla body that leads to a long plush finish. Pair with grilled pepper-crusted ribeye in garlic butter reduction or gnocchi with pork belly and chanterelle mushrooms in a brown butter sage sauce. Drink now through 2035.
