Tasting Notes

Moderate oak influence sets off earthy and ripe aromas that slide into equally earthy iron-infused, somber and intense flavors that are big, opulent, weighty and culminate in a rich, full, well-muscled and hugely long finish that really coats and stains the palate. The firm tannins are suave and the backend explosive and while this is carrying plenty of oak, there is so much mid-palate density that the wine should be able to integrate it with a few years in bottle. A terrific effort that possesses dramatic power.
