  April 17, 2015 - Dark ruby color. Nose: bottled black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, and dried redcurrant with accents of tobacco, cedar, dates, roses/violets, baking spices, dark chocolate, vanilla, and licorice root. Medium/full body on the palate: bottled black cherry, blueberry, black raspberry, and dried redcurrant framed by tobacco, baking spices, licorice root, dark chocolate, vanilla, black tea, and crushed rock. Medium+ acidity. Moderate tannins. Lingering black cherry skin, tobacco, baking spices, and crushed rock on the long finish. Supremely elegant dinner wine. Bordeaux-esque in a very good way. Pair with roast duck, grilled pork chops, mushroom-sauced filet mignon, or roast pork tenderloin. Drink over the next 4-6 years.
