Nicely layered with concentrated flavors of cherry, cassis, blackberry, plum, spice, tobacco and chocolate. While very pleasing upon release, this fantastically vibrant and concentrated wine promises to richly reward after a few years of aging because of the superlative quality of the fruit and underlying tannins.
