The nose was dark, ripe and rich with a massive wave of black fruit coated in brown sugar with hints of charred meat, sweet herbs, dark chocolate, raspberry preserves, and licorice. On the palate, I found thick, silky textures with intense raisin, dried plum, and spice. A buzz of acidity cleans up the palate, yet I longed for more depth. It finished medium-long with dark inner floral tones and dried plum.
I wanted to like this, but there's simply a lack of balance and elegance here.
