At first sniff I felt old school Rioja vibes but the earthy quality is different. Dark, sweet cherries. Plums. Swisher sweet pipe tobacco aromas and garden tarragon. Tannins have chilled but still present.

Ripe blackberry, plum and black cherry with nuances of black pepper and licorice. Ripe and just a little lopsided favoring fruit over structure. Moderate ABV, long finish.

Blackberry, black cherry, raspberry preserves, dark chocolate, vanilla, mossy earth and oak. Excellent structure and big, chewy tannins.

Made in the modern style, substantially more elegant and refined compared to the blockbuster counterparts. Wonderful purity.
