Deep and rich. A bit harsh and could use more time but still very good. Christmas Eve wine.

The nose is ripe but not jammy, with plum, red currnat, blueberry, cedar, a nice mix of warm spices and fresh herbs. The palate, not as rich as the nose suggests, is juicy and lush, lifted by a cool stream of round acidity. Round silky tannins.
Simply delicious.
