Friday, December 20, 2013 - Decanted and poured about an hour later, this wine gave an excellent to outstanding showing. The aromatics display a combination of youthful and maturing elements and offers of mix dark red cherries, spice, mocha, earth, bark, licorice, leather and floral notes. The color is a tarnished medium to dark ruby. The medium bodied palate shows balance and detail. There is an underlying firmness to the wine and it gives a medium to long finish that combines tannins and acidity. This seems to at or around its peak with no signs of fading. It should continue to drink well for many years.
