Superripe, slightly roasted aromas of black raspberry, meat, animal fur, mint and maple syrup. Sweet, dense and packed with fruit. Sappy, sharply delineated flavors of black raspberry, dark chocolate, minerals and mint. Finishes with a strong tannic structure that should carry this wine in bottle for 15 years. (ST) 93+
