This wine has a nose of Worcestershire sauce and old wood cabinets. The full body is nicely balanced by integrated yet fresh acidity and strapping, chewy tannins. The dusty, medium finish brings on flavors of mulberries, fallen autumn leaves and graphite. It’s decidedly savory and spicy character will pair well with dry-aged steak. Nicely evolved, this is ready to drink.
