A complete wine - big and rich with a balance of power and finesse and a smooth, silky texture. Surprisingly integrated for a young wine. Aroma: Forward bouquet of black fruit and rich cherry, interlaced with mocha, sweet herbs (sage), toffee and spice. Offers the promise of deep fruit and further complexity. Mouth Feel: Central core of powerful and concentrated fruit, spreading over the palate to reveal layers of ripe blackcherry, currant, anise, and coffee. Delicious, long finish continues to reveal deep, mixed dark fruit and subtle oak.
