Iodine, loamy soil, irony. Totally not about the fruit. Ink black color with a little bricking. Will last another 10 years+

Quite juicy with black cherry and black olive and good acidity. Hard to believe this is 14 years old - it tastes so young.

Would show well in a Northern Rhone tasting. Hints of dark fruit, earth and wet dog. Flavors of dark fruits, olives and earth are well integrated. Beautiful mouthfeel.
