description: Very dark in the glass, this imposing wine shows bacon fat, black cherries, blackberries, allspice and violet-flavored cookies on the lush and layered nose. Once sipped, a silky, luscious mouthfeel conveys blueberry pastry, lavender, black tea and espresso notes, set against a strongly tannic backbone that ensures long aging. Drink 2017–2027.
