Dark ruby color. Intense aromas of red and black berries, coffee, leather and dark chocolate. Fruit forward palate features black berry/cherry, tobacco and balsamic vinegar. Pleasant sour note on the finish. Some VA? Hint of smoke. Juicy, ripe, plush and round with very soft tannins. Nicely balanced. Great with food. Excellent QPR.
