Deep, dark reddish-purple in color; essentially opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of floral notes of violets & earthy/dusty notes, spices, pepper, licorice/anise, minerals & hints of garrigue & oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks well with decanting & extended airing but has the structure to continue developing with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (93+).

Short decant. Could have used more air time. Muted nose. Red and black berries, dried fruits and black pepper. Fresh and balanced with some tannic grip. Medium bodied and smooth with a medium length finish.

Unique and interesting. Fig, herb, vanilla. Finishes with an unexpected mouthwatering sour cherry/sour apple acidity.
