Shy on the nose, this wine has dry, sticky tannins that cling to a wall of high-toned red fruit, mostly plum, forming a medium weight on the palate. Softening out as it goes, it leaves black pepper on the finish. || A distinct candied sweetness announces itself on the nose, a Jolly Rancher strawberry high-toned ripeness. Beyond that, expect fierce, as yet unresolved, tannins and a peppery finish.
