April 19, 2013 - A dark colored wine with an inky core,some age is apparent on the rim that shows a crimson hue that hints to some browning. Delicate floral aromas on the nose with plums, currants, cherries, coconut, espresso, sweet tobacco, roasted meats, burnt earth, vanilla pod, cinnamon, cloves, and crushed rocks. Dense flavors on the palate with dark cherries, plums, blueberries on the attack that leads to a midpalate filled with blackberries, raspberries covered in dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and acidity that keeps on going. The finish is long lasting, quite fresh, filled with sweet dark fruits, a balanced quantity of creamy vanilla, spices, crushed stones, and sappy tannins. A silky textured full bodied wine with delicious flavors, however the alcohol sticks out a bit on the finish, after ten years it still seems as young as it was on release!
