"offers a pretty nose of spice, verbena, lavendaer and blackberry with a gorgeous palate entry of licorice, currant and mocha.  Excellent balance. 93 points.  Drink 2013 -2019."  Tasted 5/4/13 DW

Release November 2011. Deep, concentrated garnet color. Cassis and wild cherry aromas with hints of fresh tobacco, sassafras, ocoa, and clove.  Seductive, mouth watering and savory notes complement the fine tannins and lingering warmth on the palate

Primary fruit aromas of black cherries, cassis, and blueberries and with back notes of anise, sandalwood and tobacco. In the mouth, it is rich and bright and reinforces the impression of ripe fruit. The finish is dark and brooding with muscular tannins and lingering minerality. Definitely a vintage that will reward aging.
