Dense and muscular, this departs sharply from Alessandria's usual restraint. Rich cassis and blackberry surge forward with coffee, cedar and smoky oak integration. The palate shows serious weight and extraction, built more for power than elegance. Technically solid but represents a dramatic stylistic shift for this typically finesse-driven producer.
