Concentrated blackberry profile with dry dusty tannin and deeper oak tannic layer balanced by juicy blackberry acid. A vanilla nose appears on drinking. Not a shy wine, depths of flavor, tannin and acid to spare. For me, a bit too much although age will calm the youthful excess.

Nice showing. Dark cherries, black raspberries, smoke, and dried herbs on the nose, followed by licorice, walnut shell, and well-integrated oak. Cool climate in style, very crisp and fresh, with plump fruit flavors buffered by a tannic backbone and matching acidity.
