January 24, 2008 - Wow - dark red in colour, lovely nose shows sweet dark fruits, chocolate, blackberries and herbs. On the palate this is full bodied, complex and elegant with pure, focused blackberry fruit, herbs and some tobacco notes. Silky mouthfeel with decent acidity providing lift and a long finish. (Group #3, My #1)
