A bit meaty on the nose, with a heavy, earthy, dense plummy aroma backed up with leather and wood spice tones. This is notably crisp and transparent on entry, in contrast with what one might expect from the nose. There are fairly imposing tannins here that dominate the fruit today. The fruit is fresh with plummy and backed berry notes laid over gentle herb and spice elements. The finish is earthy, spicy and fairly long, ending on a drying, tannic note. 86pts

Decidedly plummy and black cherry-toned nose with a hint of toffee, which offers up a fleshy, meaty note with plenty of wood spice notes accenting the earth bass notes. Full and rich, even slightly chewy on entry with noticeable tannins and good acidity supporting slightly minty, baked red cherry fruit. There is a touch of a medicinal, liquory quality to the mid-palate that becomes more assertive on the long, if slightly hot, finish. This really is well balanced, if seemingly a bit rustic, and develops some attractive complexity, in particular a pronounced licorice streak. 87pts

Nutty vegetative quiet nose, earthy, some volatile acidity. The mouth has some sharp acidity, green fruit. Overall pretty balanced, elegant. Not very fruity.

Voluptuous notes of ripe blackberry with aromas of mocha and allspice. The palate is full and rich with mixed dark fruit flavors supported by black pepper and anise. Form tannins with a black cherry, plum, and spice finish. - Winery

Aromas of jammy baked blackberries along with hints of anise. The robust flavors of ripe plums a pepper medley and vanilla lead you to a finish of rich dark chocolate. Winemaker's note
