Mostly opaque, deep ruby to a very slight purple rim. On the nose is rich oak and dark cherry. The sweetness of the oak comes off as vanilla as well. On the palate is dominant dark cherry. Tannins build to medium-high. Nice, full-bodied. Grips quite strong toward the backend. Finish is medium and warm. Oak is slightly overpowering, but otherwise an excellent wine.
