The wine begins with aromas of plums, redcurrants, and cherry blossoms. This transitions into hints of spice, minerals with subtle bacon fat. The palate is nuanced and layered with hints of mocha and vanilla from the new French oak. This is wrapped in fine tannins and balanced by integrated acid. Great now but can easily age another 5-10 years

Good fruit/acid ratio. Smoky, nutty, spicy with good length.
