Medium ruby hue. Aromas of cassis, licorice, plum, and tar. (Aging has intensified the licorice note.) Med-plus body, with med-plus tannins and med-plus acidity.

A beautiful example of an smoothly aging right bank Bordeaux. A dusty nose with still plenty of dark fruits and some anise and tobacco. It is holding up well still putting out a lengthy and pleasant finish.

Color of a Sangiovese, muted complexity of a classic Bordeaux. Like opening Pandora's box.
