Oct 2018 – This has a captivating aromatic profile with lifted notes of violets, under scored with mocha oak spice, backed with deep fruit tones of blackberry, dark plum and dark raspberry. The floral and spicy notes of the nose carry over into the medium fuller weight palate, adding intrigue to the assorted dark fruit flavors that are quite vibrant and juicy, while the tannins are finer grained, leading to an impressive spice infused finish. This is a lot of wine for the money.
