This deeply colored wine has a bouquet chalk full of red currant, raspberry, smoke, chocolate, and hints of vanilla. On the palate this wine touches down with stunning elegance and finishes with a wild spiciness. Flavors of wild strawberry, rhubarb, spice box, cedar, and black cherry.
This wine is very well made and has serious spice and very bold red fruit. I was perhaps expecting a more viscous texture and maybe a tad more jam and fruit, but I believe this wine could actually drink a bit better in a few years. The alcohol is a touch intrusive on the finish right now but I have a feeling this will dissipate with time in the cellar. Not entirely sure how to score this wine because I feel it's to young to be accurately assessed. So I'll just leave it at potentially very good!
