2000 TRUTINA
Ripe blackberry, new leather, wildflowers, and sweet violet in the nose lead to a rich yet structured plum and blackberry mouth, teamed with hints of black cherry and mint, riding over finely woven velvet tannins guided by viscous, rich fruit. Approachable now, but will improve for 8-10+ years.
