Color/App: opaque ruby core -> diffuse ruby/garnet rim; medium+ viscosity. Bouquet of black cherries, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco and earthy bramble. Medium bodied palate showing predominately black fruit and some earthiness. Delicious and sneakily quaffable. Still a slight tannic thwack but this is drinking well now and for at least 2-3 more years; no reason to wait any longer. 91-92 and probably best with food.
