Red raspberry and bing cherry nose and a palate of ripe raspberry, herbs, vanilla, chocolate and mocha with a hint of spice and a little bit of sauteed mushroom. Finish revealed a young tobacco and a hint of green pepper and black pepper spice. Nice acidity on the front and stiff oak tannin finish, going well with a salmon and honey/basil dish and also showing well by itself. Still has 5 years in it quite easily.
