Black cherry, boysenberry and charcoal ash. Nyon olives, bitter chocolate and coffee grinds. A wisp of raspberry compote. Allspice and potting soil. Acidity is more assertive than expected on the palate and carries the sandy tannins across from front to back palate. There is a juicy quality with the firmness of savoury botte aged Cabernet. The chocolatey tones make for a satisfying sip at a humble price tag. Drink now or will age another few years. A nice wine to have with a skirt steak or black bean stir fry.
