The resulting wine exhibits a delightful fruit-forward profile with exceptional complexity and structure that will soften over time in the cellar. On the nose, a flourish of dried violet, rose hip, and bergamot aromas set the stage for layer upon layer of densely packed berry notes—blackberry compote, stewed blueberry, and juicy black plum. Hints of chewy black licorice and pipe tobacco add intrigue to the long, enjoyable finish.
