Beautiful bottle of wine. Surprisingly still plenty of life and soft tannins. Balanced and complex with light minerality and just the right amount of fruit. Hints of tobacco and spice lingering on finish. Mmmm good!

Expressive nose displaying ripe concentrated black fruit, crème de cassis, blackberry jam, licorice, mocha, dark spices, garrigue, caramel and earth. There is strong new oak/vanilla even now. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of ripe black fruit, rich and chewy, bright acidity, medium earthy mineral, and a long ripe black fruit driven finish with licorice and vanilla at the end. As Le Musigny posted, “very new world’ except having the high acidity. There is ample fruit to last but no need to wait. Don't look for anything old school in this wine.

Nice strong fruit flavors upon opening, More new world in style but has held together pretty well.
