Lighter in color, with aromas of dried fruit, leather and smoke. The berry and cherry flavors run a touch sour, but it seems ripe and textured, with hints of chocolate working in its favor. Offers a good mix of dryness and power. Probably best with food.

Full, dense and packed with fruit and oak, nothing is left to the imagination here, as sweet fruit pours forth on the palate. The basics are in form, but there isn’t any nuance or character.
