Ripe, purple-fruited Nose, with complications of wet stones and licorice; accessible aromas. On the palate, this has medium acidity, light tannins, and well-hidden alcohol. There's a nice earthiness here, as well as an old wood furniture note. This is not over-oaked or overripe; it's not very structured, but that's a big part of the appeal here --- it tastes like Bordeaux, as opposed to presenting as an anonymous internationally-styled wine; a good short to medium term wine. I'll buy this again. Gut impression score: 88 – 89.
