This is not wine for the faint of heart … it’s big from start to finish. Aromas address the heft of the wine while the palate speaks to the hope for the future, and that’s where we’ll start. The nose is all about deep dark and brooding, but the palate has juicy red fruit, spiced-raspberry and big tannins that seem to give way enough to allow for a cocoa finish.
