Very elegant and fine with real tannin tension that drives the subtle fruit at the finish. Full yet very refined and linear. Stoney, mineral core to this with an undertone of bark, wet earth and mushroom. Lightly savory. Endless finish.
It has a burgeoning complexity with a floral note intermixed with creme de cassis, creosote, subtle background earth and barrique aromas.
...emerges from the glass with a mélange of blackberry jam, crème de cassis, smoke, lavender cloves, licorice and mocha.
