Loved this. Cherries, anise and vanilla extract on both nose and palate, hint of dark chocolate on finish, not over oaked, soft tannins and not too spicy like Zin can be for me. Maybe a little cough syrupy but not in a bad way. Smooth, really long amazing finish. A pretty good value at $42. Probably has a few years left.

Only 325 cases produced. Rasberry, fig, pepper, oak, dark chocolate. Smooth and elegant with great wood and will age for some years. Really an amazing wine. And a great vintage. 94pts.
