The wine has a dark, brooding nose of black fruits and sweet spice. Aromas of intense cassis and an attractive perfumy character lends richness. The palate is opulent and velvety with classic dark berry fruits, showing blueberries, plums, mulberries and nuances of dark chocolate and graphite. The wine is full-bodied, with a good lemony acidity to balance the juicy wild berry fruit. Plush, svelte, integrated tannins add complexity to a rich, luscious wine. Black cherry and gentle hints of blueberry crumble linger on a brooding, earthy finish.
