This bottling is quite new, so give it some time to fully integrate a touch of charred oak for full enjoyment of the red-fruit and black-fruit mix, and the accompanying spice profile. The finish is rich and very long. If you like a little smokiness, go right ahead and open it early. A Platinum award winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
