From taste: dipping into black fruit spectrum, cassis and blackberries over ripe bing cherry, a heavyweight for sure...full body and full of mint, real sweet fruit, bordering on syrupy, finishes dry with very supple tannin. Grapes must have been picked off the floor! Tasty yes, but one dimensional and not one I expect to age well past 8 years. Will be a crowd pleaser now though.
