Dark, dense core of steeped fig, blackberry and black currant fruit to the smoldering charcoal, dark olive and singed bay leaf notes. Violet and white pepper nuances add lift before a prodigious warm cast-iron element... finish.
Enormously complex and compelling. Almond skin, cherries, blood and herbal notes all combine on the nose... on the palate this medium to full-bodied wine is firmly tannic but ripe and balanced, with a rich, velvety, nearly endless finish.
Mineral-accented black and blue fruit liqueur, olive and floral pastille aromas develop peppery spice and cola notes with aeration. Sappy and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering boysenberry, cassis...fruitcake flavors
