Winemaker Notes: Opaque black core, dark red rim. An aromatic assault / surge / eruption of soy, hoisin, balsamic reduction… coiled around a core of kirsch and fresh raspberry. Formidable. Not huge, not massive, yet taut, muscular, feisty. A black palimpsest - black fruits, black liquorice, black pudding, black fig, black cardamom...Chewy tannins linger and coat; oak all but fully concealed, submerged beneath a tannin/oak/acid/flavor tsunami.
