" Opaque with wide, bright, blue/black rim. Ripe, berry fruit driven nose that develops complexity all the while. Bramble, cigar box, cedar emerge while a great wave of floral notes fill the background. Big, full, well rounded mouth that gives all the nose suggested plus rip plum, mulberry and hint of vanilla. Great oak support. Good balance and supple tannins. Beautiful harmony and long, fruit filled finish. Loads of potential to develop over next six to eight years or more. "
