Color starting to turn a bit mahogany. Elegant color. Nose? Wow. Fragrant. Dried cherry, eucalyptus, pencil shavings, charcoal. Not shy on oak influence. But on the palate, what a balance of new world fruit with old world sensibility, the flavor is intense red fruits with a hint of earth and minerals. Medium + finish, great acidity. Paired wonderfully with a mushroom risotto. Well done! 93+

Clearish red, browning at the edges. There's a bit of funk on the nose at the beginning but it gives way to blueberries, oak and leather. Big, full, fruit bomby. Mellow finish.
