A spicy concoction of brooding dark berries with little bursts of cherry popping candy that surprise and delight. There are baked plums in syrup with a wash of sturdy tannins, artfully welded into the body of the wine. Oak too is carefully handled, just sidling in, to support the wealth of fruit. Orange and tangerine oils begin to unwind with time swirling in the glass. A exotic and structured wine that would drink well now with veal or equally in 5 years with some venison or game terrines.
