Really hitting on all cylinders. Dark fruit, herb, spice, long finish, integrated tannins. Held for two days, but better after about an hour decant on first day. A bit thin on second. At peak with plenty of life left.

Bright ruby-red. Med (+) intensity aromas of backberry, blackcurrant, mocha and sweet baking spice. The French oak is noticeable but not overdone. Dry, but still quite fruit forward, with med acidity, med to med (+), polished tannins and high alcohol (14.9%). The palate is smooth, rich and creamy, consistent with the nose, with med (+) flavor intensity and length. This wine is drinking beautifully and still evolving. Perhaps other reviewers were just trying it too young.

- Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of alcohol and has flavours of black currant and chocolate with a medium/full body. Satin-Like texture with a long finish.
