Medium/dark ruby is the darkest color of the Amador flight. The shy nose is all flowers, violets with some coaxing. Some really interesting stuff here but it takes a lot of work to release the aromas, might be in a shut-down phase. Palate has some elegant red fruit, loads of roasted Herbs de Provence, towering structure, loads of coarse tannin on the finish. 15.7% ABV is not even perceptible. This is an impressive wine, has tons of stuffing but needs some time. A Turley to hide away. #1 of the flight.1 person found this helpful 3,145 views
