Oak, oak spices and spiced plum aromas lead the nose on this robust red. The palate offers dried red cherry, mature blackberry, vanilla, toast and espresso alongside raspy tannins that leave an abrupt, astringent finish. Showing the heat of the vintage, the fruit is starting to dry up, so drink soon.
