This wine has a complex and powerful nose with blueberry and blackberry aromas, earth, dry dusty aromas with tar, smoke, and sour mash in the nose. The wine is also quite dry with the flavors of the fruit engaged through a grainy filter of dry tannins and earth. It has a good solid finish with lots of balanced acidity and earthiness.
