Hint of dried raspberries and notes of cedar on the nose. Elegant and smooth. Lots of tannin left - this will drink well for another decade.

Great producers make good wines even in tough vintages. Not sure how long lived this will be, but drinking great right now.

Starts off fairly subtle. Nice acid and a bit of fruit. Still a healthy dark color. After some time, it takes on an interesting velvety quality and the fruit and finish broadens out. Really quite good, with plenty of life ahead.
