Color of dark thick purple, almost like Syrah, with dark ruby tone on the rim. Nice nose of cocoa, dried raisin, crayon, menthol, leathery, dense and structured, and sweet oak. By nose, she is fantastic. Taste of milk chocolate, balanced mix of sweetness and acidity, some black cherries, some balsamic vinegar, jammy, smooth and easy to drink, not to mention fragrant and slight smoky sweet oak. Aftertaste of some firm tannins, menthol, balsamic acidity, dried raisin, and a hint of spice, medium long finish. Keep her or stock her up. A hidden gem. After the wine opens up further, cherry and smoky oaks start to dominate. Equally nice.
