In the glass this wine overflows with aromas of cassis, briar and blackberry underlain by more subtle secondary aromas such as bakers spice and clove. Generous on the palate, the robust tannins balance against fresh acidity and a silky mouthfeel. Dark fruit flavors are integrated seamlessly with plush oak, forest floor and a touch of graphite minerality that add to the complexity and depth of this wine. This wine will age beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years.
