"Medium to medium-dark ruby; intense, deep, cherry, pomegranate, and black raspberry fruit aroma with earthy notes and hints of cocoa powder and baking spices; medium-full body; deep, concentrated, red and dark fruit flavors with crisp acidity and a rich, textured mouthfeel; medium-full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Impressive now, though will benefit with several more years of bottle aging. Very highly recommended."
