Brilliant garnet color. Opened tight, with some blackberry and a bit of baker's chocolate. Decanted for 50 minutes. Pronounced aromas of plum, dark chocolate, and espresso. These are in the attack, but the mid-palate is very fresh with notes of cranberry added into the richer flavors. Very smooth and silky. Fruit-forward, but still well-balanced. A little young now, but should improve into a very nice wine.
