"Aromas of blue flower, woodland berry, forest floor and spice shape the nose. The taut, rather austere palate is less expressive, exhibiting dried cherry, hazelnut and vanilla alongside grainy tannins that leave a firm, drying finish. Give it several years to unwind then drink sooner rather than later. Kerin O'Keefe"
