We really enjoyed this. It was riper than we were expecting, with some greenness underneath, so perhaps there was a whole cluster component at play? Regardless, the interplay of intense spice, ripe fruit, floral bouquet, firm tannins, and lively acidity was intriguing and enjoyable.

Drinking well now, and probably not going to improve. More oak influence than I'd like. Spicy vanilla and black cherry nose. Ripe, spicy, floral palate. Decent acid.

Wow, I loved this wine. Soft, powerful, fragrant, spicy, savory, black tea, strawberries, balanced. Wow. What a nice mouthful. Absolutely delish!
