July 18, 2014 - The nose on this wine brings to mind a perosn wearing a long leather trench coat, puffing on a big fat cigar, while popping chocolate covered cherries into his mouth!
The nose on this wine explodes with dark brooding fruit, rich oak influence, and rich loamy dirt. The mouth on this full bodied wine is rich, layered, concentrated, and still brooding, with ripe and tart blackberry, raspberry, cherry, all wrapped in a cocoon of sweet cedar and mouth coating tannin that are slowly integrating. The finish is long and smoky with rich tobacco, rich sweet chocolate, layers of tart fruit, along with lingering tobacco, tannin, mineral, graphite, and soft leather. BRAVO!!
