What reviewers say
“Oh ladies and boys! The good news is this wine is another winner, the bad news - my wife likes it so much that unfortunately I have to share the bottle 50/50 and believe me it doesn't happen too often. Smell? Strong, strong, strong aromas of barnyard, earth, tobacco, leather.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

Summary
Scents of black plums and red currents are woven together with the fresh aroma of early season blackberries and earth, all supported by a subtle warm spice of French Oak. These complex flavors, resulting from a mix of aromatic clones, are wrapped around the firm structure provided by our old vine creating a full balanced palate and a lengthy finish.
