Full ruby. Briary dark berries, licorice and tar, lifted by a floral nuance. Impressively concentrated but tightly wound and backward, with powerful flavors of briary berries, chocolate and truffle. Finishes with chewy, firm tannins and excellent aromatic persistence. This has turned out very well, but calls for at least five or six years of bottle aging.

Good saturated ruby to the rim. Complex, inky aromas of cassis, bitter chocolate, menthol and fresh herbs. Briary, medicinal and muscular, with fresh herbal nuances; reminded me of a wine from the Northern Medoc. A somewhat clenched cabernet with firm acid spine and substantial mouthdusting tannins.
