Dark fruit and chocolate, then damp soil, leaves and underbrush swirl together on the nose with a final smoky hint of campfire. Earth and heat remain on the palate, with more chocolaty and even nutty undertones, girded by solid but refined tannins.

This has aromas of cherries and raspberries, toasted spices and cocoa with hints of peanuts and sesame. Some wet earth and dried herbs, too. Medium- to full-bodied with a creamy texture and fine, polished tannins. Refined and rounded with delicate fruit as well as chocolate and walnuts. Silky finish. It’s attractive now, but better after 2024.
