The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis) and prune. It tastes like plum, forest floor and black chocolate. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Interesting nose. Very earthy, mineral, moss, dirt, very slight hints of floral tones, some banana. The wine lacks any sense of focus. In the mouth the wine is very light and smooth. Very easy drinking with no hard edges. Well balanced. The palate is earthy with some chocalote flavors. The finish is long, spicy and herbal. Excellent QPR and a great 87 pointer and can sit for another 7 years.
