Mature in nose body and finish. Dried lavender and red rose on the nose. Body of medium depth and pleasant layers of herbs, black raspberry, aged light wood and subtle licorice. Long finish with well integrated tannins. Drank well upon opening and did not need a decant. Played well though an entire complex meal.

Nice age for this wine with earthy pleasant nose and ripe plum start on the palate. Mid palate and finish pleasant with mild licorice, dark berry and fresh leather. Not as complex or layered as would be optimal. Tannins still need a bit of integrating but right sized with food. Can age more but not likely to get significantly better.

Had at a steak restaurant. Just wonderful with mature combination of fruit introduction and multilayered palate of dried roses, leather, and long finish. Loved it
