Darkly seductive in the glass, this wine shows deep, rich berry and plum on the nose. Herbal, forest-floor aromas suggest tobacco and iron, while a touch of cured meat hints at the unabashedly visceral palate.The wine is at once juicy and chewy, with a game-like and sinuous texture. The finish is irrelevant. Sip once and be forever in its thrall.
