The wine is definitely inky in terms of color and mouth feel. The nose shows great complexity expressing a spicy linear feature as well as savory quality. Red & black fruits combine in a concentrated, elaborate mix. On the palate, a sud-den flavor of Balsamic vinegar & smoke takes over the lead. The vibrant acidity balances the tannins and heavy structure. It’s a dense & focused expression that holds on for a residual satisfactory finish.
