Attractive aromas of high quality cigar smoke, black cherries, plums, and spices suggest a more favorable impression than what actually hits the palate.

Drink it over the next 1-3 years.Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, various American importers including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
