If the gorgeous notes of brown sugar, graham cracker and black pepper on the nose don't reel you in, what's in the mouth will. Its blackberry core is juicy without being overblown; black olives, earth, leather and even a little raspberry flesh out the flavor profile. Has a velourlike texture in the mouth; its tannins are soft enough to age well, but age it certainly needs—it's showing restraint, and will need about 10 years to reach full bloom. Cellar Selection.
