Aromas of blackberries, plums, and black cherries meld with suggestions of pepper, earth, and balsamic on the nose. Flavors of currant, blackberry, and dark cherry combine with notes of spice, balsamic, and anise on the palate. Smooth tannins and dark concentrated flavors make lamb a fine paring for it.

Silky and refined, with a graceful feel to the raspberry and black cherry fruit, melded with notes of bergamot, anise and black tea. A subtle iron twinge emerges at the very end. Drink now through 2025. –JM
