Dark black fruit, dusty stone, pepper medley, and dried purple flowers on the nose. Cedar, smokey plums,currant and tobacco with ample pepper down the center. Full bodied and opulent with drying tannin and an elegant finish. Exceptionally balanced as far as petits go.
Give this ample time to open up. Quite restrained at first but developed wonderfully over a few hours.

Figs, concord grape, bing cherry, boisenberry, red currant, roasted lamb/goat, green olive, white pepper, with a hint of smokiness and eucalyptus. Leads with the fruit notes which are juicy and sweet then the savory notes come through the mid palate. Medium dry, powdery drying tannin.
