This wine reveals tannin, and is not very impressive aromatically and on the palate. Nevertheless, it offers a mouth-filling, full-bodied, muscular style of wine that should unfold gracefully with another 2-3 years of bottle age. It is solidly made, with plenty of earthy black fruits (primarily cassis), and a long, spicy, concentrated finish. It should keep for 10-12 years.Tel. (805) 546-0305
