If you want heft then you've come to the right place. This lays it on and does so in excellent style. Chocolate and blackberry, ripe plum and toast. Peppercorns too. It's svelte and rugged at once; it's a mouthful. Tannin comes in from a long run and rumbles through the finish.

Full crimson-purple; a richly upholstered full-bodied wine, with a savoury/tarry/dark chocolate framework for the blackberry fruit, tannins adding their voice to the finish of the palate. This has the depth and balance to live and develop for decades to come.
