Savory wafts of tar, cured tobacco and leather wind through flavors of dehydrated cherry, plum sauce, red licorice and paprika in this refreshing red. Structured by well-meshed, chalky tannins, showing a satiny texture, good integration and length. A bit compact today but opens nicely in the glass, suggesting good cellar potential. Best from 2028 through 2040. 300 cases made, 175 cases imported.
