At first the aroma is sharp, even clumsy, showing herbs, peanuts and even bacon fat. The fruit is in the big-plum range. A heavy dose of oak has been thrown at this wine, so it’s buttery on the palate and coffee-tinged on the finish. || Very light in color, so much so that it’s almost transparent. Potent aromas of mushroom, bramble and buttery oak. Some strawberry and cream flavors are driven by snappy acids. There’s length and kick to the fruit-forward finish.
