Bold on the slightly baked nose, with a splash of midpalate juiciness, this wine pretty much defines fun in a glass. Vividly ripe and pleasantly fresh, this is a robust yet nicely structured wine. Tasting of blueberry and bramble sprinkled with spice and a touch of crunchy dark chocolate, the tannins turn lightly firm and drying on the fairly complex finish. The full body is nicely balanced by lifting and integrated medium-acidity. Drink now–2025.
