The wine has deep red color saturation and opulence. Blue and purple hues line the rim of the glass, and indicate the healthy nature of this wine. Ripe blood oranges and brooding black cherry and blue fruits build an intense core of fruit. After lengthy decanting, hints of graphite and iron subside to notes of dried leaves and mushrooms. The palate packs a core of rich fruit and immense structure. This young wine will require coaxing over the next few years, but already shows touches of its beauty. Suggested drinking window is 2018 until 2029.
