Excellent in the vintage, with classic creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, bay leaf and toast giving way to a medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless ... plenty of sweet fruit and building tannin
Pure, complex aromas of cassis, black cherry, bitter chocolate, mint, minerals, licorice and spicy oak....The tannins are huge... and the wine’s inherent sweetness shows through on the very long aftertaste.
A strong earthy undertone runs through the cherry and spice flavors, finishing with a veil of firm tannins. The fruit lingers in the end and should gain with time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
