Excellent wine drinking very well. Nose has plum, sweet spices, and an earthy floral note. Palate has black licorice, plum, toffee, dark chocolate, ripe black raspberry, and an incense note. Tannins are just barely rustic and the perception is towards a bit of sweetness. Acidity is well balanced. Long, pleasant finish. This wine could go another five years easily.

Spectacular, rustic, and deep. At eight years, the velvety texture contrasted with a slightly rustic tannic quality is nothing short of hedonistic. The wine is deep with spices, plum, sweet ripe bramble, aged tobacco, white pepper, anise seed, perfectly poised acidity, and an impressively never ending finish.

Beautiful with black fruit, spice, cigar box, black licorice, white pepper, and a tannic structure that’s powerful with sweet fine tannins that almost get to rustic. Long, earthy finish. Gorgeous.
