"Medium-dark ruby color; very attractive, spicy, cassis and dark berry fruit aroma that developed with airing in the glass; medium-full to full body; rich, elegantly styled, currant and blackberry fruit flavors with herbal notes, a trace of vanilla, and a silky mouthfeel; medium-full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Shows finesse, complexity, and excellent balance that makes the wine very enjoyable to drink now with promise of further development with bottle aging. Very highly recommended."
