This wine offers effusive aromas of cracked black pepper and savory spices at first. With air, sumptuously ripe blueberry mingles with black tea. It is full in feel yet balanced, showing some enticing development by way of tobacco leaf, incense and marzipan. The lingering finale is graceful and harmonious while simultaneously intense and engaging. Drink now–2023.
