A rich and compelling nose of blackberry, blueberries, sandalwood, and dried herbs is augmented by layers of plum and cherry, cocoa, and graphite. Bold and full-bodied, this wine is structured firmly around a solid core of rich fruit, licorice, and herbs. Supple, ripe tannins provide ample backbone. The finish is long with lingering flavors of caramel, sweet oak, and chocolate. Decant to open up the complexity.
