Medium reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, some floral notes, tobacco, minerals & cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with herbs, minerals, spices & oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but even at 9 years of age, it should continue to develop further with additional aging.

2 hours of decanting. Still unwinding. Agree with previous notes, blackcurrent on nose. Dark cherry pit fruit on taste, cedar, long finish. Certainly age longer. Very good now as well.

Fleshy and clean and a little bit tight on the palate.
