A hint of sediment.

Deep ruby color with medium minus intensity aromas of BBQ bell pepper, perfume, brown sugar, potting soil, and blackberry. The palate was in-your-face chalk tannins that go away quickly to reveal balsamic, vanilla, juicy red plum, strawberry, black fruits, bell pepper, oak & smoke.

High acidity & quick finish made for a fantastic food wine that needs 90 min to decant. 3 more years for tertiary notes to show?
