Maison Noir Horseshoes and Handgrenades 2019 USA Syrah Savory and Classic a sweet fortified red I

a sweet fortified red I had already tasted and which seems to be evolving at a glacial pace

A balanced and pretty red with walnut and berry aromas and flavors

picking up mirabelle plum and papaya accents through the finish

with even tannins and building spiciness

cherry and mulberry fruit that manages to stay light on its feet even as waves of black tea
