Tasting Notes
The 2012 Illustration demonstrates elegant notes of expresso and black licorice, with opulent red fruit and lavender aromas. The softly-structured mid-palate offers great density and abundant flavors of black cherry, tobacco and cedar. The Finish is persistent in length with sophisticated tannins leading to a smooth m o u t h f e e l . Drinking well upon release, Illustration will age beautifully with time in the cellar.
