Deep and dark ruby red. Super dark and complex spices and fruits. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Long and lingering.

2 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A remarkable inky dark garnet. On the nose: subtle notes of plum, cassis, sweet tobacco, menthol, wet forest floor. Taste: smooth, creamy, silky magical elixir with black cherry, currants, crushed stone, spice, and a dark chocolate plum espresso finish with just a touch of heat. YUM!! In it's drinking window so enjoy.

Decanted 12 hours. Awesome but a hint behind the 2001 on the body and finish.

Cedar and cherries on the nose with a plate of dark cherries and berries with cocoa and mocha on the finish. Super silky smooth with sweet but formidable tannins that go on and on. If tannins moderate but fruit stays big this can be an amazing wine in a few years
