IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Shows terrific purity, featuring rose, cherry, strawberry and graphite aromas and flavors. Delivers plenty of finesse alongside a firm structure. Offers excellent balance and a lingering aftertaste. Subtle aromas of ripe forest berry, scorched earth, exotic spice and a balsamic whiff of camphor lead the nose.

The linear palate offers dried black cherry, ground pepper and a hint of grilled herb alongside fine-grained tannins. Aromas of tar, berries and violets follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a juicy finish. A little tannic now. Give it a year or two to soften.
