This wine leaps out of the glass, with a big nose of blackberry, mulberry, inkwell, cocao, white pepper and baking spices. A full and rich palate with real density and power shows blackberry, raspberry, and fig with leather, cocoa, nutmeg and smoked fennel-sausage providing a complex and intriguing background.  The firm tannic frame is held together by balanced acidity making this a wine you can cellar for a decade or more.
