Gorgeous ruby with a clear rim just starting to see some bricking; warm cherry pie, cinnamon, pepper, bay leaf, vanilla,brown sugar, eucalyptus, sage, some barnyard funk & graphite. Tannins are nicely resolved; med + bodied. A delicious wine!
Once again a soft reference. WE vintage chart, rated this wine vintage & Region at a 93 and ready to drink now!
