My note may be similar to others--nose of tobacco and dark ripe cabernet fruit. Tastes of blackberry compote and cassis and chocolate-covered plum with medium acidity and tannins which are well-integrated. Brooding and deep with a long elegant finish--as fruit dissipates, I get more tobacco and leather and tannins and cocoa. The fruit was muted on opening, but blossomed after 2 hours in decanter. 93+

A wonderful full bodied wine. Nose of cedar and tobacco and hints of chocolate and caramel. Flavors of dark fruit, black raspberry, plum and a cassis. Layered finish of dark fruit and chocolate notes which with the soft tannins and acidic balance was long and enjoyable.

Great full bodied wine. Nosecof leather and chocolate with dark fruit. Flavors followed nicely with lots of dark fruit and chocolate and vanilla. Finish was great, long lasting and full of chocolate and dark fruit with beautifully integrated tannis.
