June 14, 2015 - Dark ruby red. Bing cherries, dark bitter chocolate, tobacco, tar, cedar, and soft floral notes. Well balanced. Medium to firm and well integrated tannins. Nice, matching acidity. Long finish. Aging very well and much better than expected. Drinking very well now, but can still likely cellar for a few more years.
