Somewhat aromatic on the nose, this wine has a hint of oxidation that isn’t too bothersome. It’s impressively ripe in black plum, cherry and dried fig character, with generous sweet spice. The full body is framed by lightly firm tannins and buoyant acidity. Though definitely a ripe-leaning and exuberant sort of wine, this is nonetheless well balanced and pleasurable. Drink now–2020.
