Summary
Exudes power and elegance. Dense and focused with primary, bright, youthful, fresh characters. Plenty of ripe blue and red fruit accompanied by notes of mocha, carob, butterscotch, and toast. Long, clean, and fresh. Discernable tannins that are youthful yet lengthy complement the underlying intense fruit.
