Intriguing, with notes of fig, black cherry and plum, underlined by fresh-tilled mulch, pink peppercorn and seared steak all melding together in a dark, dense intriguing package. The palate follows with the fruits married to cedar, fresh rosemary, sweet tobacco, green tomato, and a tinge of balsamic reduction. The tannins are grippy without feeling too young, rather they grab you and pull you in, and are balanced by mouthwatering acidity. A wine to ponder over.
