($55) Full medium ruby. Cassis, bitter chocolate, licorice, mint and a hint of earth on the sweet nose. Sweet, concentrated and suave, with creamy but well-defined flavors of dark berries and tobacco. This offers superb clarity and depth of fruit flavor. Finishes quite long, with suave, building tannins that avoid dryness.

Firm and austere, with flinty mineral, red currant, plum and black cherry fruit. Flexes its tannic muscles yet manages to still showcase the ripe fruit. Needs time or decanting.
