Ruby with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather and licorice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with notes of pepper, smoky tobacco, herbs and cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with smoky notes, cacao and earthy sweet notes. Just starting to drink now, but a few more years will benefit. — 8 months ago

Drank at Siamo Napoli in San Diego. Loved it — 4 years ago
A hit of new oak on pop and pour, developed well in the glass over the course of a few hours. Beautiful wine.
