A solid blend of herbs, licorice, espresso, and kirsch come through readily on the nose and palate of this lush, round, ripe, ready-to-drink wine. Drink from 2022-2029.

Rich, medium-high intensity aromas deliver ripe blackberry, raspberry, and smoky crushed rocks with touches of pepper spice. It's medium-full to full-bodied on the palate with lovely aroma replays joined by some dried herb and gentle oak spice flavours. Good fruit concentration holds up well to the slightly warming alcohol, lifted by mouthwatering acidity. Fine-grained, slightly chalky tannins are nicely textured. Stony mineral, wood spice, and blackberry notes linger on the long finish, with excellent length.

Needs to decant for at least 90 minutes to bring out its flavor. Then it is far more drinkable.
