The nose here shows more sweet tabacco, worn leather and sweet red fruit along with young chorizo, a deep pool of richly spiced black fruit but with a freshness to it. Super drinkable and very light on its feet, beautifully sweet tannins that ride the finish and gain in intensity pushing through vibrant blackberry and cherry fruit. Wonderful stuff
