Nose

Brooding aromas of blueberry, blackberry, dark chocolate, licorice and meat; showed more sweetness with aeration.

Palate

Juicy, intensely flavored and quite penetrating, with brisk flavors of crystallized black and red fruit firmed by strong acids. Rather folded in on itself today and not showing its density. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and sneaky sweetness.

Aging

Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.

Appearance

Saturated ruby.
