  Extracted ripe blackberry and other black fruits with firm tannins and tons of cocoa and pepper. Medium-long finish, not complex, but delicious. Drinking exceptionally well now, but clearly still maturing. A great option now for those appreciating a more youthful, fresh palate, but also interesting to see what new complexities emerge with a little more age. Drinks well without a food pairing. Punching way above its weight, a great value.

  Earthy, concentrated black fruit nose. Very accessible for its youth. Big fruit--black plum, cigar, strong tannins, acid in balance. Harmonious with long finish. Enjoyable now, looking for more complexity down the line.
