This one starts with musty mushrooms blended with lots of red fruit preserves and blackberries. Strawberry and fresh sour plum hit the front of the palate, with white chocolate and hazelnuts following. Everything comes together with a soft airy tannin finish reminiscent of burnt sugar, with hints of cocoa and coffee. I’m putting this one as an everyday wine, though it borders on impressive.
