The wine is smoky, with black currant-fruits and a core of dry tannins. Those tannins are probably not going anywhere much, so while the fruit and acidity will soften, the wine will always be dry.

Fruity while still solidly tannic, this is a ripe Merlot-dominated wine. It has a touch of bitterness, but the main flavors are of black currant, fresh berries and a strong line in acidity. Drink from 2017.
