Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, espresso, cedar and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, strawberry and ripe black cherry with notes of cacao, vanilla and dried herbs. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cacao, spice and earthy, oaky mineral notes.

Deep Ruby with aromas of rich dark berry fruit and smoky spices. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with oaky notes, black pepper and tobacco. Long finish with soft ripe tannins ending with berry fruit, spice and earthy mineral notes. Very Nice, still has room to improve with time.

Always been a devotee of this wine but this is just not ready IMO. Immobile and resistant. Hold or decant the F out of it.

Continuing with the Celia flow...sticky sweet, silky tannins with a smooth finish. In a great place right now with so much fresh raspberry fruit on the palate and a touch of spice. So good right now....
