Suavely made, this hearty red has a brooding fruit profile with licorice and damp soil accents. The full-bodied palate boasts a wide array of flavors, from black currant and blueberry to tar and coffee grounds. The midpalate shows a nice sappiness that is surrounded by somewhat parching tannins, yet bustling acidity keeps the mouth watering. Medium in finish with pleasant complexity, this should show well in the short- to mid-term. Drink now–2024.
