Deep purple-black in color, the 2019 Tour Maillet leaps from the glass with bold notions of black cherry compote, wild blueberries, boysenberries and spice cake plus nuances of licorice, chocolate box, tar and woodsmoke. The full-bodied palate carries a fair bit of classy oak at the moment, yet potentially has the fruit to wear it well, with dense layers of black and blue berry preserves and a firm frame of grainy tannins, finishing long.
