A mature wine on the eye with a translucent ruby red core and bricking rim. Intense alcohol rich nose with dark berries, violets, tar, leather, smoke, hints of roasted meats, black pepper, and a touch of vanilla on the end. On the palate the wine is quite tired, revealing dried red fruits, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee flavors. The acidity keeps this wine fresh, moderate length finish showing spices and almost no tannins. A mid to full bodied wine that is at its peak, drink now.

Big, smooth, mature, balanced, rich, deep. Dark fruit, silky tannins, long finish. Not sure of the particular grapes in this bottling but a very solid, age worthy effort!
