Medium dark purple Elegant floral nose, dk cherries, plums, soft sweet cedar notes, soft notes of cassis, hint of chocolate On the palate-soft plums, soft dk cherries, med body, med acidity, silky sensation, well integrated fine tannins, well balanced, 30 sec+ finish with almost pure dk fruit with fine residual tannins. Smooth. Drink now through next 3y as the fruit and tannins will probably not carry it much further 90 pts

Medium-dark ruby color. Herbal, licorice, cherry, and blackberry nose. Medium to full body. Nice acidity and tannins. Dried herbs and fruit on the palate, turning very dry. Lingering, fruit & dried herb finish that turns earthy and rough.

Very dark purple color. A 95 point nose full of blackberries, blueberries, and some dried herbs. The taste was not as good as the nose. Some mixed dark fruit and some dried herbs. Taste could have been effected by my getting over a cold

Dark purple, almost black. Solid tannins with lts of dark fruit and a little vegetal. Could use a little more cellar time.
