A dry, tannin-driven wine, though, underneath, there is fine fruit. The wine is layered, structured with plum skin, leather and herbal flavors, along with pure fruit acidity. It should develop well.

There is power here, but it is hidden behind an exterior of sweet fruit. The black plum juice freshness fronts dark, dry tannins, a core of steel. The ripe fruit is already delicious, but those tannins shows this dense wine’s aging potential.
