Summary: An elegant wine with distinct form providing a complex experience. Drink now.
Carefully cellared, cork closure 90 pct preserved. Clear, dark garnet color with a vivid presentation to the eye. Crisp acidity with drying tannins. A full velvet mouth with a long aromatic finish. Prominent blackberry and cherry to the nose with black pepper undertones.

The wine shows some wonderful aromas in the nose - cassis, berries, touch of mocha. Upon tasting, the wine reveals balanced acidity with relaxed tannins. The same nose surfaces along with delicate terroir of leather, oak. For the price, this is a tough wine to beat. I have an italian dinner tomorrow and my last bottled is destined to be uncorked.

Good, still kicking, took an hour to come together. A lot of fruit still and while no superstar this really is great value.
