Tasting notes
A fine fruit-driven effort with plenty of smoke, caramel, and espresso notes in the aromatics, this perennial reasonably-priced overachiever is plump, fat, and juicy. It exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color as well as sweet mocha and black cherry liqueur-like aromas, a layered attack, and sweet tannin in the finish. This luscious sleeper of the vintage will drink well during its first 10-12 years of life.
