strong nose of ripe blueberry and mocha with pleasant alcohol/glycerin esters. a little meaty and a little more interesting as it sat in the glass after being open several hours. a decent finish.a very nice wine regardless of the fact it is not terroir-driven.

Earthy nose; the fruit takes a while to get going. Stinky notes underpin the aromas along with berry fruits and a hint of stone fruit. Long palate presence, salty, some spice, and an appropriate sliver of acid. Has a great floor that will bode very well for extending aging. Quite restrained but has obvious underlying power.
