This wine boasts a deep core, with a licorice-black color and a red, autumn-leaf rim. The nose is beautifully advanced, with savory notes of licorice, earth, tar and clove-studded pomegranates. Advanced notes play with fresh and fruity ones. It’s high in alcohol, but balanced. The acidity is supportive and the body is only moderately viscous. The wine’s savory elements balance its fruity ones, and all lead into a long, steady finish. Drink 2013–2019. This is a good reminder we should all drink more Maury!
