Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums with grilled herbs, hints of smoked meat and spices. A little earthy, too. Firm, chewy tannins with a full body and spicy, cedary undertones. Chalky, dark-fruited finish. Drink or hold.
A lovely core of ripe berry makes for a creamy and approachable nose on this bottling, which is just the start of its pleasures. The density immediately impresses on the palate, where firm tannins and a persistent acidity balance plush flavors of black cherry, cappuccino and caramel.
