Purple/garnet in the glass. Lots of blueberry in the nose, a surprising amount. Some cassis and light vanilla notes, but mainly blueberries. In the mouth, quite fruity -- again, blue fruit, with some varietal typicity coming from the cassis. Toasted oak, rather than vanillin, showing on the finish. Balance is good, finish is quite long.

Smooth and pleasant. Nothing fancy or complicated. Smooth. No oak flavors.
