Lush fruit, cooking spice and fresh coffee on the nose. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. There is very good focus and balance here, between the deep, ripe fruit, cocoa powder and dried-floral notes. Succinct and sleek. Drink now.

Broad and generous with slick tannins that grease the palate with licorice and violets. A burst of plum and a litany of sage and cured meats addresses the succinctness of this Rhône-style red.
