Notes: This bold wine boasts a nose of seared plums, violets, scorched earth, vanilla and Szechuan peppercorn. The chewy midpalate is a powerful showcase of blackberry, licorice, sandalwood and blackcurrant. This heavyweight is cut through the middle with a lightning bolt of minerality that refreshes the palate and drives towards an impressive finish.
