A nose that exudes cherry, fruit with just a hint of heat. I dislike the phrase "has a lot going on," but this applies perfectly to this wine. Cherry, spice, tobacco, cocoa. All wrapped up in a beautiful, smooth tannic delivery. Moderate to long finish. This is really a fun wine to drink and explore.

It's tough for me to pinpont the nose on this one. Some dark fruit emerges, but little else. Smooth, smooth palate. Notes of cassis, plum. A decent helping of the Rutherford dust. It's drinking well now, but I would not wait any longer. A moderate finish.

I typically mention notes from the glass, then from the palate, but I'm not going to do that. Here's my review. Friggin delicious. That is all.
