Intense nose of cedar, dark dark plums, leather,and some lemon[!]. The taste is intense in the same family -- leathery, deep fruit, bright acidity, chewy texture, with moderate tannins at the end. The flavors just keep on going. More amazingly balanced than before -- mellowing beautifully.

Great nose of cedar, very dark plummy notes, leather. The palate is bright with acidity and dark with deep fruit and leather. Moderate tannins and a finish that just keeps on going.

Dark plums and leather on nose. Bright acidity but with deep dark fruit on the palate. Long finish.

Dark plummy notes, leather on nose. Bright acidity but with deep dark fruit on the palate. Long finish that just swells.
