This wine was really quite stunning with full and sumptuous rich plum, jammy blackberry fruit and soft French vanillin oak. Dry cocoa tannins and dark roasted coffee complete the long and lush fruity finish.

Some age was showing on this wine with yellow tint oak, minerals, and vanilla on the nose. Nice balance, med weight, and good complexity with flowers, and crushed rocks.
