TASTING NOTE: Fascinating, layered aromas of ripe blackberry, fig, dark cherry, cloves, and smoke. Big and chunky yet quite smooth - like a block of carved marble. Lush, dark, spiced fruit lingers on the lengthy finish. Bravo. Savour with marinated steaks or beef stews. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2014) |
