Loved this wine, well worth the wait in my cellar since 2009. The wine is still young and has at least a few more years, yet it is now smooth, balanced, round and pleasurable. Color is deep black, no signs of age, nose is sexy and smooth like velvet, with licorice, violets, black currents, light mint and sweet chocolate, body is full with round caressing tannins, lovely mild balancing acidity and a long delicious finish. A true pleasure. My first from this winery, not my last! My score 90, drink to 2018
