Bold on the nose with pleasantly ripe aromas of mulberries, black cherries and black plums, this is immediately more-ish. As it sits in the glass, it becomes more and more spicy with freshly cracked black pepper accenting the forest berry fruits. The attack is broad and mouthcoating, with well-rounded tannins and kindly integrated acidity. Full-bodied with a nicely concentrated core, this is clean, charming and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
