Deep, dark reddish-purple garnet in color, almost opaque. Full, forward, & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & boysenberries with overtones of violets & pepper notes, spices, cocoa, earthy/dusty notes, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & boysenberries with spices, cocoa, herbs, minerals & oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well with decanting & extended airing & even at 7 years of age, it should develop slightly further with additional aging.
