Restrained notes of black cherry and tobacco. Dark in color with diminished black cherry, more tobacco, forest floor, mushroom and cedar tasted, quite a range. Nice sharp acid on the palate as well with a slight dryness towards the end.

A little mute on the nose initially. However the palate spoke volumes. This wine is impeccably balanced between the fruit, acid and tannin. Very clean in taste, nothing convoluted. Tasted cassis, black fruit and a little spice. Exhibited elegance with a touch of power and a very good finish. Still remarkably young and very enjoyable.
