Dark cherry skin colored with floral, briar, dark cherry, fresh herbs and fennel on the nose. The palate is all about dark cherry with tobacco, floral components and a touch of oak. Good balance on this medium tannin frame. Drink now for the fruit, or revisit in 5-7 years when the tannins calm down. 2004 vintage.
