Boisterous notes of black plum, crushed blackberries, cassis, new leather, red-earth, dried violet, and lavender petals absolutely take over the nose. This carries to a potent, focused, raucous backbone with a great mid-palate, with layered chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity that creates the perfect length. Give this 2-3 years before enjoying, and then get ready for a master class in winemaking over the next 2 decades.
