A stunningly structured, layered wine that is just starting to show itself. It’s classic Diamond Mountain, with firm, grippy tannins that carry dense blackberry, currants, dried herbs and spice through a long finish. You’ll want some of this for your trophy cellar — and I’d say hands off for at least five years. Fantastic wine! A Platinum award winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
