Ruby-purple in color, this wine offers a lovely nose of raspberry and dusty earth. It boasts tremendous structure and nuance, with cherry fruit complemented by refined tannins. The acidity is nicely balanced, making for an overall solid and enjoyable wine. With a bit more bottle age, it has the potential to evolve beautifully. Seek some out and consider cellaring it for 3–5 years.
