Serious fruit flavors and ample tannins. Still really young. Give a good hard hour long decant or better yet lay it down for 5 years. — 10 years ago

Amazing how well this has held up. 10 years in my cellar and it is so similar to the wine I tasted back then. It definitely leans a bit towards the new world in ripeness and richness but still has plenty of balance and varietal character. Wild cherry, black plum, red licorice, with lots of sweet spice, brown sugar, and a slightly medicinal undercurrent on the long finish. — 6 years ago
