This sucker really sings with dusty trail, raspberry, and cassis on the nose. Falls a little flat in the mouth following the gargantuan nose, but has big tannins, big structure and good acid.

Lots of black fruit flavours balanced with pepper and cedar wood spice. Lots going on!

Heavy pepper on the nose and through the finish. Really much early on.
