This wine is midnight black at the core. It has a reserved nose, with charcoal and pencil spearheading the aromas. The palate turns even darker, thick in black currant and plum skin flavors. Then, it hits with a significant impact of alcohol and an extravagantly rich and extracted palate. The mild acidity and mouthcoating, powdery tannins leave the wine feeling a bit flat. Drink now–2018.
