Savory aromas of olive, earth and licorice join with dark plum and blackberry fruit on the nose of this Old World red. The wine is medium weight with an equal amount of black fruits and savory flavors of tapenade, dried herbs and earth balancing one another. There are some dried fruit and raisin notes as well. The 5+ years of age have softened the tannins, creating an easy-going texture. This doesn't show woody notes, the wine's complexity comes from fruit and terroir, rather than oak. Lovers of Bordeaux or Rioja will especially enjoy.
