Wow, deeply scented with a rich nose full of dark chocolate, lots of floral touches, smells sunny and rich. Seriously spiced on the palate, the sweet and dry spice lingers on the tongue spreading out the mouth with crushed peppercorns, juniper, caramel, toasted wood, violets and cherry jam. A lot going on here, strong and bold, quite in your face, giving tons of energy and character still with acidity that doesn't make it heavy and rather plumps up the richness without detracting. Quite woody, you feel the oak in the texture and richness but it's still bouncy and vibrant, good crunchiness, forward, open but with bright freshness. Balanced but by no means a wallflower of a wine. I love the mintiness at the end. A great food wine. They did well to balance the heat from one of the warmest and driest vintages in recent time. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend.
