Deep, dark, reddish-purple garnet in color bordering on opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe dark fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries, plums & cassis with overtones of floral & earthy/dusty notes, some anise, mint & herbs, spices, minerals, dark cocoa & a hint of vanilla in the background. Full to medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, earthy, cocoa, minerals & a hint of vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but needs & should continue to develop further with additional aging.

Very good. Opened very tight but relaxed and opened up over time to reveal rich dark fruit and hearty smooth lingering tannins.

Blackberry and dried tobacco notes with medium grained tannins and firm acidity. Lacked the texture and balance to elevate it to a higher level.
