Ethereal aromas of dried figs, blackberry jam, and pencil shavings belie a focused and powerful body. Youthful tannins coat the mouth with a firm grip and acidity amplifies the mouthfeel to a crescendo which slowly evolves into flavors of raspberry, graphite, peppercorn, and nutmeg. This young wine will reward the drinker with decanting and will mellow as it warms. Very high ageing potential.
