Wow. This is really powerful, with aromas of blueberries and blackberries and hints of spices. Then there is an earthy, meaty undertone. Full body, with velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Focused and solid. Very structured.
Dark fruit, chocolate, spices and leather emerges from this dense, vibrant wine. A powerful underlying vein of minerality frames the wine.. Freshly cut roses, licorice and spices reappear on the striking finish.
Blackberry and plum fruit is augmented by cedar and sandalwood in this thickly textured, tannic red, which is Bordeaux-like, with an Italian bent, finishing with tobacco, black tea and spice accents.
