Bold blackberry fruit opens the deep aromatic profile that includes cinnamon, chocolate, faint dried herbs and dry earth. The entry is bright and delivers on the promise of the nose, with great structure and acid balance, and a finish that’s already fully integrated. Drink now for youthful vim and vigor, or age long term for a more subtle experience.
