Dark chocolate and crushed black pepper lead, with brooding blackberry fruit underneath. The palate shows remarkable precision and drive, built on a core of spiced dark fruit that flows with seamless energy. Gentle tannins frame the wine beautifully, while the finish displays striking purity and length.
