Deep, dark garnet/purple-colored wine with a moderately intense fragrance of minerals, licorice, smoke, roasted herbs, and sweet black currant fruit. The wine still has some tannin to shed, but its expansive, savory style.
Dense, concentrated and nearly chocolatey in richness, with complex aromas of ripe plum, vanilla and herbs. Tight and fully tannic, built for the cellar, although its aromas are tempting now.
