Excellent ruby-red color. Musky, tangy aromas of raspberry, cherry, coffee and dark chocolate. Fat, silky, sweet and pliant; pure fruit flavors enlivened by lovely vinosity. A wine of very good rather than outstanding density but impeccably balanced. Finishes with lush tannins and very good length.
