Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, tobacco, wet soil and oak smoke. Flavors of black cherry/currant/plum fruit, baking spices, anise, mushrooms and dark chocolate. Noticeable vanilla cola note on the long lasting oak driven finish. Bright acidity and well integrated (but grippy) tannins. Full bodied and quite complex. Beautifully balanced, smooth, powerful (yet soft at the same time) and elegant. So well integrated. Outstanding quality! Built to age but quite delicious right now. Thank you so much for sharing, Petey! Happy 60th Birthday, Karyn!
