Really nice currants and fresh tobacco leaves rich and jammy and lasts with good silky tannin structure.

Oh well this is not bad!?! Great nose and actually seems inviting on the first taste. But 3 to four tastes and it seems a little 2 sided and not much more complex. Still...at 13 bones...sure! $12 / 88pts Youngs206

Sweet, but not overly. Price fruit, earthy, & oak. Delicious.
