Color: deep garnet Nose: black fruit, Cherie’s, menthol and cigar box Taste: plum and cherries upfront with anisé and cedar.
This wine has a nice round mouthfeel with lots of fruit upfront settling down to anise, cedar, mushroom and cigar box. The tannins are well integrated with a long lingering finish. This wine still has a bit to go - good for at least 5 more years.

Starting to come into drinkability. The nose is loosening up and showing brambly black fruit and cedar. Palate is still tight but develops over a couple of hours with a good fruit tannin balance. Finish is tight but satisfying.
