This strong, brawny wine is furry in tannins and brambly in wild blackberry and cassis flavors. There's a sweetness to it that suggests liqueur, though the finish is dry. The new oak is strong, but proportionate to the wine's inherent volume. Entirely drinkable now with grilled steak, but if you have a cellar, try stashing some for up to six years.
