Clean, Medium (+) aroma intensity, with DEVELOPING aromas of blackberry, cassis, black pepper, baking spices, cloves, licorice, coffee, and dried cranberry.
Dry, high alcohol (15.0%), medium (+) acidity, medium (+) round juicy tannins, medium (+) intensity, full bodied wine with a medium (+) finish. Flavors of jamminess, cooked blackberries, chocolate, figs, and savory notes.
Wine is of VERY GOOD quality, and can be consumed now or suitable for additional aging.

This is lovely stuff, big dollops of sweet cherry fruit and vanilla oak, not for the feint-hearted!

Cherry, cocoa and oak aromas. Full body, well balanced, smooth. I expected a bit more from a 13 vintage.
