Simply beautiful. Dark cherry, cedar, anise flavors fill the palate with firm tannins. Excellent balance not over oaky with very nice fruit. I think this is aging beautifully and has a few more years yet to go.

Classic aromas of red fruits, cigar box and spice, followed by a seamless & silky mid-palate rich with raspberry, cherry and spice flavors that hold on the finish.

Wonderful. Aged nicely and still showing good fruit. Nice depth with a plesant finish.
