This nose starts off with with a chocolately top note underscored with a touch of mint and a graphite tinged herbal note with a back drop of black cherry and dark red plum fruit tones aromatically. Medium fuller bodied this has a sleek texture with bright and juicy cherry, red plum and raspberry flavors supported with finer grained, firm tannins on the back end that offer some grip bringing this to a dry, focused finish with some of the savory, earth tones notes adding nuance to the finish. This is now starting to open up and should drink well over the next 2-3 years.
