Saturated violet. Suave, deep aromas of blackberry and cassis, with hints of tobacco, black tea and chocolate. Broad and lush, with an enticing sweetness to its strong blackcurrant and boysenberry flavors. Chewy, sweet and long on the finish, with silky, supple tannins and a sexy note of oak spice. This is already drinking beautifully. (ST)

Moist soil, cola and molasses aromas all indicate depth, oak and ripeness, while the palate is full, fairly juicy and saturated with serious black fruit flavors. Additional prune and chocolate notes come on toward the finish, cementing this wine's meaty, somewhat modern personality. It gets better with airing and will not suffer from a few years in the cellar. (MS)
