Our finest 2015 wine offers boysenberry, blackberry, cassis, vanilla, hints of mocha and chocolate and a slightly briary, savory note with a subtle oak toast. On the palate is fresh dark berry fruit and mocha. Fine tannins on entry, well-structured mid-palate with slightly chewy, rich tannins. We recommend some cellaring and decanting through 2020, it should peak 2025-2030 and continue to age.
