Showed some bricking around the edge. Nose was very nice with hints of secondary aromas - cinnamon, nutmeg, christmas spices. Still lots of dark fruit as well. Palate was fully developed for me. A nice combination of secondary and primary flavors with perfect integration. Finish was medium long. Drinking at its peak for my palate. Would buy again.

We had this with pizza on 3/12/17. It had a deep, fragrant, harmonious bouquet of plum, black cherry, chocolate, sage, anise and spice aromas. The palate was rich, balanced well integrated with flavors of plum, black cherry, chocolate, licorice, spice and minerals.

Black red color, dark berry aroma, very concentrated dark berry fruit with a bit of spice, tannins very smooth, finish was powerful (minute +).
