A memorable wine of character, this has aged to weave a supporting savory layer through its now-raisining, blueberry and peppery chocolate. Beautiful structure. Great with Italian food. Drink soon.

Very lavish dark toasty oak coats the spicy blackberry fruit. There is a richness and silkiness in the midpalate with some chocolate but a slightly bitter finish. Lacks elegance and complexity to push it higher although it is hedonistic.
