Complex nose, with ripe red fruit and pleasant spicy notes. In the mouth, soft, voluminous, elegant. Velvety and enveloping tannins. Long finish that evokes the nose.

"Distinctly savory, this red delivers grassy, thyme and menthol aromas and flavors allied to cherry, strawberry and loam. Angular and dense, with the fruit component emerging with air. Deftly balanced and complex, this is long and reveals an aftertaste of cherry, berry, mineral and herbal accents. Best from 2025 through 2043.  –Bruce Sanderson.
