Tenacious aromas of Turkish fig, white chocolate, and notes of prune imparted by time spent in French oak. A fresh entry and a bright, juicy mouthfeel are complemented by sweet and robust tannins. The finish is full and spicy, calling for another sip. Vinous / Antonio Galloni 89 Points - "Bright, dark red. Crushed blackberry, licorice, bitter chocolate and a peppery, herbal topnote on the nose, with complementary smoky, spicy oak. Smooth, vinous and sweet, with currant and floral flavors complicated by a strong savory element and accented by licorice and herbs. Finishes with suave, even tannins and very good length."
