Deep purple colored with medium staining and a high viscosity (14.4% ABV). The nose has intense aromas of vanilla, black cherry, spices, black plum, ripe mulberry, black licorice, toasty oak and hint of alcohol. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body and medium (+) tannins that are silky. Powerful, mouth coating black fruit- mulberry, black plum, black cherry and blackberry kick things off followed by a hefty dose of vanilla, some spices and black licorice finishing long with some toasty oak notes. This is a powerful and thick wine- perfect for my Lamb dish. It is youthful yet shows structure for the long haul, it is heady yet graceful. I love it. 93 points from me for this $25 bottle makes it a 5 star effort to drink till 2030.
