Cola, Cherry, evolves into cocoa. Lasting tannins and evolving flavors. Liked more at the winery than shipped to house.

Really nice wine. Bit of a fruity taste, but really good balance. Great with steaks.

Evem after a dozen years this wine has harsh edges. Too acidic for real enjoyment; there is some fruit but not enough to counter the sour, tannic edge.
