Aromas of dark brambly blackberry liqueur, coarsely cracked black pepper, savory spice, and cinnamon aromas. Hints of Mexican-style hot chocolate and ripe mulberries/blueberries begin to evolve, enhancing complexity after some time in the glass. The wine is bold, full-bodied and complex, yet still elegant in the mouth, its character alternating between earthy dark fruits and lingering mocha/vanilla laced spice elements. The tannins are chewy and tame, and the wine has a silky, rich, mouth-filling texture that warms and will continue to evolve and mellow with bottle aging. If you can wait a few years before opening the bottle, you will be rewarded for your patience!
