TASTES: Wow, super saturated garnet color and then you’re hit with the super expressive nose of graphite, white flowers and cassis. The blue and black fruit dominated palate contains crushed blackberries, blueberries, liquid mineral and wet gravel notes. The tannins are actually very fine-grained helping to focus the wine and draw out additional elements as the wine opens in glass. The finish goes on and on and on. Well done.
