Deep, rich and balanced effort. Mocha, espresso, plum, dark chocolate, and tobacco. Dark cocoa, spice box, blackberry preserves, and plum carry through on the palate. Persistent, and remarkable length. Limestone, chalky tannins deliver the finish. 15% ABV is held in check. The amount of dark fruit and chocolate character is enjoyable, yet surprising based on the blend: 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre.
