black-berried cakey smells galore, cherried berry fruit, a core of blackcurrant, and significantly fine tannins. It’s got a tarry flourish on the finish and it’s very, very easy to drink now, even if the tannin wants time.

Spicy blackcurrant, cassis and redcurrant fruits; supple, ripe tannins; very well handled oak.
