heavy, raisiny, ripe aromas of prune and earthy blackberry set up a chewy, oaky, mildly tannic palate that's fully stuffed with woody, baked, almost malty flavors of blackberry, chocolate and toast. this is a rich, ripe number, with a loamy, toasty finish that shows black licorice and jammy cassis flavors. drink through 2018.
