A gorgeous, layered nose of classic varietal blackberry and cassis aromas plus chocolate and faint dried herbs entices, and the palate delivers on that promise. The generous texture carries the flavors on the midpalate, and supple tannins keep the flavor pumping through an extended finish. A new player to me, and one worth watching. Bravo! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
