Outstanding! Cassis, currants, and chocolate. Beautiful bouquet. Velvety smooth. Paired spectacularly with venison.

98+pts. Could exceed this in time. Strong red and black fruit on the nose. White truffle and boysenberry on the palate. Medium plus acidity, with incredible mouthfeel and longer finish.
