Rating: 5
Color: Garnet with some ruby highlights
Nose: A dark and wonderful nose featuring a rich medley of red and black fruit, though mainly black at the moment. Black and red cassis, cherry and some fresh garden herbs are here in abundance with a bit of wet granite. Decanted 3 hours prior to serving.
Palate: This medium-bodied blend is doing outstanding already. Don't be fooled that it might age quickly, the balance is impeccable with good food acid and tannins that are find and round will enable this to continue to age. All of that wonderful fruit is here too along with those savory aspects found in the nose. A long dark finish awaits the taster, as well.
