the wine has evolved to one of great subtleties and provides exceptional balance. The fruit is diminished, but still present as black cherry notes around the frame of earth, sage and leather. There are some slight tobacco notes as well.

Aging has transformed this wine. Where there once was cherry, there now is red raspberry. Leather and tobacco notes are strong on the nose and palate. Tannin is refined and smooth. Opens up nicely with time and has a pleasant long finish

Old world, drinks rather like a lite cab franc. Lots of wet dishrag on the nose. Interesting but not compelling. It's an awkward dance of partners as the body is light + while the nose encourages you to expect more.
