  The nose was intense with polished blackberry, plum, exotic spicy florals, cola, and a hint nail polish, which blew off to reveal sexy cherry. On the palate, I found soft textures with ripe blackberry and spices, balancing acidity and dark inner floral tones. The finish was long and spicy with ripe black fruits and inner florals. It’s a big wine but it’s balance prevailed.

  Hdr Closing Tasting: A step up. Black raspberries, black pepper, roasted meats on the nose. Very complex on the palate if still tight. Medium tannins. Great mouth feel. Long finish. Very bright acidity.
