Right now its so young and immature that Having it as a desert wine is probably ok but... me thinks this wine in 5 -10 yrs is gonna bring down the house.

Salty chocolate cherries on the nose with palette notes of blueberry, crushed gravel and morel mushroom. The finish is smokey and tinged with raspberries. A beautiful wine.

Looks almost black while poured. Soft tannins, but good structure. Nice mouthfeel. Vanilla on the nose. Can't discern specific flavors, just very tasty. Probably mostly oak on the palate.
