A ripe nose features notes of red raspberry, black cherry and earth. The exceptionally rich middle weight flavors possess a velvety, round and textured mouthfeel that terminates in a youthfully austere and reasonably long finale. This needs more depth but may well develop it if allowed a few years of bottle aging. Drink: 2026+ - BH88
