Dark ruby color. Nose with a little alcohol and bret and not much else. Palate on the other hand is very expressive with dark fruit, spice, and tobacco with some cola on the long finish. Full-bodied. Couldn't bump it into the 90s because of the nose, but quite a good zin.

Fabulous texture: rich, velvety, even creamy. Great chocolate, touch of spice, possibly cedar, and dark berries. Gorgeous dark color in the glass. Nose is subtle and possibly still tight with this initial opening. Medium tannins to help with structure. Simply glorious.

Cedar and tabacco on the nose. Tasted chocolate, spices, dark berries. Very dark color, nice mouth feel. Very nice wine
