If only I could afford more of this stuff...
On the nose, you're presented with a heady cocktail of roasted nuts, cassis, earth and spice box. The palette is equally striking, with sweet cinnamon, cloves and cherries, adding layers and texture. Mid palette is still displaying a ripe tannic structure, which helps to extend the flavors and enhance its density. The wine still displays a youthful freshness which belies it 11 yrs. 13.5% abv is in alignment with all of the components. Happy Labor Day w/end to one and all.
