A: clear deep garnet
N: aromatic, some age, fruity aromas; plum, peach, grape
P: syrupy but not overtly sweet (dry to off-dry?), light bodied, fresh, low soft tannins, powerful, simple flavors of multiple types, good balance, long finish; berries (black cherry, raspberry), licorice, oak.
O: outstanding flavorful light wine
I wish the later vintages(2012-2013) were as good. They're not.
