Tasting Notes
Intense red and black berry fruit, spice and leather aromas. Rich and suave on the palate with concentrated tart blackberry fruit, cherry and plum, cedar, leather, spice, salty minerals, licorice, balsam herbs and violet floral notes abound. Firm tannins and juicy acidity. Layered and complex; this well structured wine will continue to develop for years to come. Should you want to open it now, decant it and enjoy it with aged sheep cheese, roasted meats, game or hearty pasta dishes.
