A feisty nose of freshly-cut evergreen and soy sauce melds with some low-intensity tones of old leather and varnish in this wine. Pungently flavored, it offers a combination of a well-aged cigar and Madeira on the palate, with an accent of black currant buds. It’s elegantly structured by integrated tannins and supportive acidity. There’s a captivating maturity and complexity that keeps unfolding. Drink now.
