Deep dark purple-garnet in color; almost opaque. Full, forward, & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of briary & earthy/dusty notes, spices, dried herbs, cocoa, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced, & smooth textured, rich, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries and blueberries with spices, herbs, minerals, dark cocoa & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging.
