Nose has blackberry, moist sawdust, cut pomegranate, red vines candy, mashed raspberry and cold green herbs.

Palate has sweetened dried cherries, over-ripe strawberry, fresh blackberry, white pepper with mild tannins and refreshing acidity. So GD tasty! 90m decant, in the zone! I wish we had more than this bottle 🤦‍♂️.

Loved this wine. Dark and brooding but light and restrained. Blue and black fruits with hint of tobacco leaf and peppercorn spice. Also slight notes of leather.
