Tasting Notes, "It always amazes me when a wine can be both deep and brooding, yet light on its feet, without being heavy or overly sweet on the palate. The depth on the nose starts immediately with fresh crushed blackberries, exotic black currants, toasty oak, pipe tobacco, a hint of fresh green herbs and spring flowers. The deep palate begins with sweet black raspberries and ripe black plum, followed by secondary characteristics that include cocoa dusted chocolate, combined with sweet fruit tannins that perfectly balance the fruit. Absolutely stunning to drink now, but this will gorgeous for a decade or more to come." 97 Points, Kevin M. Vogt, Master Sommelier
