Medium reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of red cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & cedar/tobacco notes, herbs, spices, minerals & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, mulberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Appeared readily accessible at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging.

Medium tawny in color, black berry fruit aromas with rustic clove notes. Deep smoky, cedar aromas evolved with some air (I decanted this wine and let it breath for ~1-2 hours) Savory palate, plum fruit and dried cherry flavors are well rounded with hints of vanilla and silky dark chocolate in a long-structured finish that leaves you wanting more! Need to get my hands on more!

Beatiful aromas of dark fruit, with blackberry, black cherry and plum to call out. The fruit is ripe and the secondary aromas are a real treat as well, with a hint of tobacco and vanille. More dark (ripe) fruit on the palate, medium to full body, medium plus acidity, silky tannins. Overall this is an excellent wine that is drinking well with a long decant (5+ hours).
