Great aromatic complexity: sweet tobacco, bay laurel and lilac, alongside dark blue and black fruits of gorgeous purity. The wine is broad across the palate with wave upon wave of cassis, blackberry and black cherry fruit. There's great density and obvious power to the wine, and savory notes of Kalamata, licorice and anise add deeper complexity. Tannins are sleek, gravelly, and youthful and will allow the wine to age in bottle for twenty years if desired.
