Blueberry compote and pie crust is what I get on the nose. Tooth coating (drying?) tannins on this one. Super dark and extracted flavors of blue and blackberries, with a heavy dose of oak. Spice on the long finish. This is a great full-throttled wine. I bought this in Napa and was told the back story of this wine had something to do with Russel Bevan giving them fruit from sugarloaf thus the name "borrowed jewels". Nice. Like every Argot wine I've had so far this jumps out of the glass and slaps you to be sure your paying attention. At least that's how I felt after the third glass 😆!!
