Black cherry with a touch of leather on the nose; very dark burgundy with a hint of orange-yellow at the edge. Black Cherry, French plum, and leather on the palate. Fruit and leather on the finish. A superb wine.

The wine is young but after ten minutes started to open up and became truly remarkable. Recommend laying it down, but if you must drink it, decant for 20 minutes.

If you find this in the back of your cellar, like I did, don't pass it by or pour it out. Initially the wine is very raisiny, and I had my doubts. But let it open for 20-30 minutes. The character of the wine changes completely. Primarily leather with hints of anise and cherry.
