A little pricier than the “regular” bottling, this wine delivers a little more stuffing. Forward aromas of white pepper and blackberry are undergirded with allspice and black cherry. The palate is full bodied and has firm tannic grip, with good translation of aromas into flavors and a long mineral driven finish. Grilled ostrich would be a fine paring here.
