In a word this wine is “intense”! It’s full bodied and high octane with ripe, juicy red and black fruit (red and black plum, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, mulberry), black licorice, earth, meat, leather, and sweet baking spice notes.
The medium acidity and deep concentration of aromas and flavors bring balance to the high alcohol (15.5% ABV); the tannins are smooth and supple. It has a lingering finish.
