after a few years when altaïr's wines strayed toward being too herbal and rustic, this is cleaner and easier to like. it's still showing the winery's typical herbal-olive aromas and flavors, but it's smooth in the mouth, with deep flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice and cocoa. a solid, earthy finish with flavors of toast, coffee and herbs qualifies as complex. drink now–2016.
