A dark side example that perhaps shows some warming climate in the region. Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, damp earth, fall spice and a touch of chocolate translate well and will gain depth of character with some cellar time. It’s got some age-worthy structure you’d expect even though it’s on the ripe side, but don’t go too long as it’s pretty tasty right now.
