Tasting Notes
Squid ink in the glass with just a peek of vibrant purple around the rim. The bouquet is densely packed, almost concave, drawing you down before revealing layers of black cherry and boysenberry jam notes framed with dark chocolate, savory cardamom and black pepper/seasoned oak. As it opens, wild sage, red rock and violets florals complex the nose but, clearly, there is more to come here. Rich, ripe and muscular on entry, it presents a palate staining structure of big-grained, red rock slathered tannins that seamlessly unfurl perfectly delineated black and blue fruits finishing with a flourish of raspberry kirsch, black pepper and dark chocolate. Dense and tightly wound swaddled in baby fat, give this bad boy and good year or two in the bottle before poaching!
