Violet, ripe plum, black-skinned berry, leather and truffle scents take center stage in this firmly structured red. The medium-bodied palate offers dried plum, chopped herb and licorice flavors, framed by firm, polished tannins and racy acidity, finishing on a black tea note. It's still a bit austere but should develop beautifully over the next few years. Drink 2018–2028.
