description: Tight and still a bit closed down, this is a dark, compact, somewhat mysterious wine that keeps its cards close to its chest. Dig a little deeper than the clear, cassis fruit, and you'll find layers of subtlety, dark flavors of tar and licorice, hints of rock and iron, all wrapped in unyielding tannins. Let it breathe and the fruit begins to open up, and a softer, more elegant wine begins to emerge from its tough, tannic shell.
