Dark color - purple/black. The nose is packed with plums, dark cherry, roasted meats, gingerbread, Necco wafer, creamed corn, and a whiff of maple. The palate is packed with plums, dark cherry, black pepper, molasses, and minerals. This medium-bodied wine has an aristocratic spine of acidity and tannin to match he density of its fruit. The finish is dense with a ton of minerals and a tough, tannic facade. Overall, this wine is clearly from a high class vineyard with age, but it is in need of time to tame the tannins and round out the fruit.

60 minute decant. Big black and blue fruits dominate this wine, with licorice and plum on the mid-palate and the finish is a bit hot. 89-90
