  Deep purple color, aromas of dark berry fruit with an herbaceous background and spiciness. Flavors of blackberry and loganberry with a touch of bakers chocolate nice acidity to breakup the richness of the fruit flavors, medium full-bodied, no tannic edge left in this, but not fading either. Really nice wine, lacks a little complexity to make it great, but quite a nice surprise at 10 years. 2 more years left before decline.

  7/14/2015 - Kevincrouch Likes this wine:

  A beam of graphite and sanguine minerality hit you first with this wine on both the nose and palate. A full-bodied and soft core of blueberry and currant fruit carries the wine tenuously across the palate with silky pleasure, but perhaps missing a bit of acid for pizazz. Tannins are almost totally kneaded in and the wine finishes with a subtle woodsiness. This was most certainly still too young as it began to show more oak and fruit the following evening. Keep it.

  This was better than expected. Wonderful balance of fruit, spice and earth. Nice finish.
