Bold and mulberry-driven on the youthful nose and palate, this is a succulent wine that also shows terrific fruit purity, pronounced fruit density and layered spice and chocolate intensity. The broad attack eases onto the lightly creamy, full-bodied palate with finessed, sleek tannins and buoyant acidity. Everything is well-proportioned here, even the fairl high alcohol. Ganache, strawberry preserves and briar patch linger on the buffed, sensuous finish. Drink now–2029.
