Deep ruby red with garnet edges. Strong nose, can smell a couple inches from the glass. Layered in tertiary notes like a damp forest floor, damp leaves, woody and a touch dirty. Additional layers of violet, dark cocoa, tobacco leaves and a touch of herbs. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Well integrated and smooth mouthfeel. A touch of earthiness on the palate with tobacco and black cherries. Medium finish. Drink now.

A gorgeous nose of stewed plum, wet forest floor, oak and black raspberry. The palate is shocking bright for the age with soft, drying tannins. The palate is is juicy with black and red fruits but soft with gentile earth and spice notes. The finish is long and elegant with soft, drying tannins and touches of dark fruit. Wonderful.
