This impressively rich yet elegant wine combines an understated finesse with richness, balance, and length. It offers a saturated dark ruby/purple color, a polite nose of black-cherries, new oak, and spices, and sweet, ripe, rich fruit buttressed nicely by moderate tannin and adequate acidity. It may merit an outstanding score after 1-2 more years in the bottle; it will last for 12-15 more years.
