Aromas kicked off nicely with sweet oak, cassis, blueberry and spice. Palate seemed bland at first with sweet-cassis, spiced-licorice, and oak leading to a long finish of cedar and blueberry ... thankfully this wine had more under the hood (so to speak) with a little time in glass, and after 30 minutes things changed for the better offering up creme-de-cassis and smoky-blueberry into the mix.

Great balance of fruit, body and oak. Drinking very nicely now but would last another 3-5 years.

Showed quite nicely for its age. Good acid & a nice chocolate note.
