Blueberries, blackberries, licorice, and hints of floral in the nose. Concentrated fruit in the flavor with blackberries, black currants, black cherries, plums, and some earthiness. Full bodied wine with a medium to long finish

Nose was muted but woody, violets, spice, pencil/graphite & cherries. Balance is amazing and still plenty of tannin. This could go a while longer but not sure it will get better. 115 cases of this in 2006 so glad I could participate. Excellent.

The nose was dark and rich, with jammy black fruits, grilled herbs, violets, sweet spices and hints of animal musk that permeated the senses. It was velvety on the palate with saturating blackberry-cherry, grilled herbs and peppery spices, yet there's a balancing of acidity that makes it all work. The finish was long, saturating and spicy. Yum.
