Big ripe black fruit on the nose, with notes of mint and various herbs, over a waft of freshly lit cedar kindling - like the neighbours were out back, smudging with the raw ingredients of an Aveda shampoo. On the palette it's of medium+ weight, it's juicy and slightly rasinated. Blackberries, bay leaf, and clove. Initially slightly mouthwatering, but the supple tannins restore balance. Good length on the finish.
