On first opening the wine reveals aromas of jasmine tea and grilled nectarine, followed by blackberry, black cherry and graham cracker. On the palate intense the layered black fruit is framed by cinnamon stick, sweet clove, and cigar box. Rich and deep, the wine is beautifully balanced, supple, and ends with dusty tannins and black tea. Powerful and dense, the wine is enjoyable now with decanting and will evolve for decades.
