Quite a bold, savory red wine building out of the glass with brandied black cherry and blackberry fruit, leather, tobaccoa and black pepepper, rose stem and dried rose petal notes framed by a salty mienral complexity and cocoa powder tannins that linger through a coffee bean and wet slate finish. Plenty of dark fruit and spice complexiy and great mouthfeel here. A very satisfying wine, ideal for brisket.
