Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - The wine has a beautiful saturated purple appearance and does not look a decade or so old.
The nose surprisingly unevolved, but gives off plenty of classic aromas of black fruit, vanilla , spice and some tobacco.
Full bodied with medium plus tannin and medium acidity. Palate is lush and still has plenty of fruit characteristics. Very elegant with a long finish.
This wine appears to have at least another 10-15 years of life ahead of it in a cold cellar.
