Drinking wonderfully at the moment. Dark indigo in color. Rich and earthy with red fruit, tobacco and dried herbs on the palate. Nicely integrated tannins offer great balance and depth. Will it last a couple of more years? Sure, but this is right in my sweet spot now.

Full bodied, firm, focused concentrated black berry and black currant fruits, intense cassis, vanilla and lavender tones, complex mouth feel loads the palate with a layer of creme de cassis, hints of caramel and sweet oak on a long finish of smooth silky polished tannins.
