Impressively dark color is very promising, and this wine delivers the goods in many other respects as well. The fruit is quite ripe and expressive both aromatically and in terms of flavor, showing a plum note as well as suggestions of both red and black cherries. In overall terms, the wine is dense and deep and very pure, with moderate oak indicating minimalist winemaking that makes sense given the sheer deliciousness of the fruit, which will need a little time to develop secondary characteristics but has terrific and inner strength.
