Concentrated plum and black-cherry notes meld with cranberry, thyme and white mushroom creating an alluring aromatic. The palate demonstrates ripeness, almost fig-like, with subtle hints of vanilla and sweet spice that add to its decadence. Acidity provides balance to youthful tannins and lifts notes of fresh thyme sprigs and clove, adding depth to the wine's long finish. Beautiful. — Anna-Christina Cabrales
