This is an earthy wine but it has more fruit than I expected from this vintage. An attractive deep purple color with a tinge of orange and a nose of leather, wet soil, licorice, and prune invites you in. The palate starts off with ink and leather and continues with prune, licorice, cherry, and dark berries. There is some sweetness on the mid-palate, the acidity is low, the tannins are soft, and the finish is pleasing and long. Very good overall and great with braised beef.

Color has started to fade but nice wine. Opened up after about an hour in the decanter.
