Smoked beef & pork with hints of flint, licorice & black currant... 45% Syrah, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon & 12% Petit Verdot... soft upon entry... robust tannins as it opens, offering black peppercorn, teriyaki and lavish black cherry flavors.
...a serious, structured wine that has plenty of blackberry, smoked meats and peppery herbs as well as full-bodied richness, a great mid-palate and plenty of length. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy over the following decade.
A heady, smoke-tinged bouquet displays scents of ripe blue fruits, cola vanilla & a pipe tobacco note gains power as the wine opens... Fleshy and broad but energetic, offering sweet, deeply concentrated black currant & blueberry liqueur...
