Color: Medium to dark garnet in core, more dark brick edges.
Nose: Deeper cool, earthy menthol and anise here, drier black fruit in the nose with cigar and new leather.
Palate: Medium full and very round and smooth palate. Good mix of drier red and black fruit, dry firmer tannin, savory cherry tobacco as well, with good acid. More leathery notes into the finish: OldWorldWK.
