Gorgeous; has integrated beautifully with age. Turning a deep brickish red in color. Herbs, spices and a touch of cedar to my palette, along with dried black cherries and currants. Opened for an hour before it really showed it's stuff...glad I have one more; will enjoy this at 15
A wonderful wine. Complex aromas, possibly some green leaf, too. Pretty rich by itself and proved to be very food friendly. Decanted for about an hour. The last sips were heavenly. Quite smooth with some deep flavors.

Deep dark red in color but, not opaque. Nose of mint, cassis, dark chocolate, black cherry. Very well integrated tannins and flavor profile of ripe bright red fruits with a touch of oak. Nice acidity! Keeps me coming back for more.
