Really, yes it's that good. Pitch black in the glass, a blackout. Nose of petroleum, funkiness, Smuckers blackberry jam and peek of olive oil...nice. Mouth coating, slight tart-chewy tannins, bold and long. Despite the powerfulness the when maintains its structure highlighting, vanilla, cherry cola and oak. Finishes clean with pepper and smoked blueberries rounding out a playful wine.

Dark berries some spices in the very nice nose. Rich with a smooth mouthfeel. Well integrated tannins. Perfect compliment to Christmas dinner. 2009 Vintage.
