Very dark red. Sweet aromas of wild fruit, leather, peaches, prunes and vanilla. Full body, with a good balance and lovely acidity. Concentrated flavors of very ripe grapes, combined with chocolate, prunes, a little licorice, and noticeable tasty oak. Good finish with a strong aftertaste. Overall, a very good red wine, that though isn’t incredibly complex, provides a wonderful solid experience. This should reach its peak in a few years, and cellar nicely for many more.
