Notes of raisin, black currant, and baking spice commingle throughout, with a fleeting hint of tannin on the finish. Nice enough, but a bit sweeter and less complex than I'd expected.

Deep color. Aromas of prune, cassis and black fruit. Still quite youthful and primary. Fig, raisin and spice on the palate. Long finish; balanced. (R&D)

Enjoyable at tne end of a yummy dinner on an absolutely frigid night, but somehow a bit more dilute and less extracted than I remember/expected from this wine. I doubt it will improve from here, so would recommend consuming whenever the occasion calls.

4th Saturday Group Cellar Diminishment (Sue’s): Plum, raisin and currant notes. Youthful, full-bodied and a bit tannic yet, this still needs time. A bit more raisin than I would like, but otherwise enjoyable. 90+ pts. (R&D)
