"Concentrated aromas of black cherry meet with wondrous amounts of clove, star anise, chaparral and sharper mulling spices on the nose of this bottling. The palate starts with a powerful peppercorn spice before diving into slightly sour pomegranate, lifted with bits of thyme and anise on the finish. Patience will reward on this wine. "
