A bit tight at first, but mellowed nicely with some air. A big, bold, beautiful wine, delightful with leftover beef short ribs.

Color of dark ruby. Nose of dark fruit, oak note, herbs, grass, and tobacco leaves. Taste of dried cherries and sweet raisins, sweet apricot, refreshing acidity, round but firm tannins, cedar wood, tobacco leaves, grassy and herby, jammy and silky, and anise. Aftertaste is long and nice structures, with dominant flavors like zesty bitterness, vanilla sweetness , dark chocolate, and dried dates. Really a nice wine, but on a sweet side.
