A warm, ripe style, with hints of brandied fruitcake and preserved fruit, but also some fresher notes of blackberries. It’s full-bodied, with plentiful tannins without being particularly textured in the mouth, yet has a long finish.

For a wine that didn’t go through malolactic fermentation, this is thickly textured, almost pulpy, lacking a bit of vibrance. The pineapple fruit is weighty, but one-dimensional.
