Started out a bit "hot", but after being aerated and decanted it opened up and softened nicely. Tending towards garnet in color, has a good combo of minerality and dark fruit, with some spice on the back end. Still drinking well.

Very intense fruity nose of raspberry, plum and red berry fruit. A hint of smoke. Creamy red fruits, cherry, slightly bitter tannins (young vines I'm guessing), short, fruity finish. Delicious, but I should be drinking these.

Classic nose of tobacco and cassis. Acidity on the low side, tannins integrated, plump and sweet fruit, tobacco on the short-medium length finish.

At law school sendoff. From memory. Sweet and delicious as usual, black fruits with a herbal tone, this is drinking superbly.
