Boisterous on the nose with deeply ripe flavors of black plum, ganache, licorice and tar, this is a juicy, elegantly fruited wine with ample cinnamon-spice aromatics. The palate is easygoing and supple, with fine, non-invasive tannins and mild acidic tension. Slightly cloying, the finish shows residual sugar and sweet, milk-chocolate flavors. Quick to finish, this wine is ready to drink.
