This dark-colored wine is black at the core, with a pronounced magenta rim. The nose is seductively scented with smoky oak and incense as well as black cherry cobbler. The dense midpalate, packed with sloe jam, caramel and toasted oat, is perfect for hedonists. The medium-length finish is gripped by lightly firm tannins and brightening acidity, making this voluptuous bottling good for sipping as well as enjoying with a meal. Drink now–2020.
