Color is medium garnet. Green tobacco is on the nose, and mouth has ripe plum, currant, and tobacco leaf, with the latter predominating on the finish. The finish was satisfyingly long.

Popped and decanted (only lost about a tablespoon to sediment). The depth of color is starting to fade on this wine, though there isn't any bricking per se. Really well integrated and complex aromas and flavors. Which on one hand limit the descriptors that I can utilize and on the other hand provide a truly enjoyable drinking experience. The tannin on the back palate was still a bit sharp and aggressive. Nice medium length finish. Would purchase again.

Lovely bottle - bought a while ago and somewhat forgotten about - had to add to the list when I found it.
Lighter in colour than expected, but does not lack for flavour. Intense bing cherry nose, lovely crisp acidity and smooth sweet red and blackcherry fruit on the palate. beautifully balanced with a lovely long finish. Maybe a little light in texture, but not in flavour, great finish.
