The wine is a deep red color. The nose is heavy and brooding, displaying fresh berry with hints of dust and spice. The palate is full and opulent, with substantial dusty, chewy tannins well balanced with rich flavors of dark cherry, plums, and creamy oak. It is impressive now, will improve in the first few years of cellaring, aging gracefully for at least ten years.
