Going back as far as 2018, it shows an interesting mix of developed notes from age, with the fruit-driven character of the more youthful wine from recent years - such is the intrigue of this type of assemblage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpactful and intense, the dark fruits have a baked quality, infused with woody notes of cedar and musky sweet leather. The body is unabashedly full, heady with charry smoke and spice. At first smooth and supple, a substantial whack of tannin gains momentum and takes hold long into the finish. A wine for the darkest depths of winter, a bottle that cannot fail to warm the soul.
