"Aromas of blackberries and spicy plums, with tea leaves, black olives, licorice, and wet earth. Full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Taut and fleshy, with a deep core of black fruit and a hint of spice. Savory finish with notes of chocolate and walnut shell." (James Suckling 2022)
