This wine is firing on all cylinders right now, but can also hang on for several years and will undoubtedly reward you on different ways. Bold ripe plum, black cherry and cassis join sweet spice on the nose. There are hints of graphite and a little earthiness at first that give way to the fruit with air. The palate is structured with acid, slightly grippy tannins, and that bold fruit all in perfect tension. Long black cherry finish.
