  On the palate- Big dark fruits and red fruits, dark plums and cassis, stewed cherries and dark preserves, violets and dark chocolate, clove and baking spices, nutmeg and oak, vanilla and bay leaf, forest floor and cigar box and a hint of tobacco leaf. This wine is drinking KILLER now with 5+ years of bottle age but still needs about an hour or more of decant time to really open up and show its stuff. I see this aging for another 10 years easy with no problems at all

  Commanding aromas of ripe black cherries, bramble, summer plum jam, dark chocolate, clove and tobacco take the lead while a bouquet of red flowers and bay leaf form atop as the wine is poured. Behind the delicious fruit lies a backbone of black tea and accents of forest floor that lend structure and complexity.
