The three initials are familiar enough, just not in this order. Tim Smith puts his passion for the Mataro grape out front here in a 60:20:20 blend, and it works insanely well. 

The fruit profile is black cherry and plum, the palate aromatics exotic, definitely sitting in the Chinese Five Spice mode that the winemaker himself desires. 

Medium to fuller bodied in style, with a prominent yet measured coat of tannins, this is an individually creative variation that shows genuine gastronomic personality.
