Here is a wine you’ll find familiar for its intensity of blackberries and kirsch notes, followed by its graphite traces and clipping of cigar. There is creeping ivy and rosemary stem, a middle palate succulence and tannins nipped and tickled nicely to frame the wine. It’s quite the classy number that is drinking very well now and still has 6-8 years in the cellar to watch those spices unfold. One for the slow braised red meats.
