The nose is big and intense with ripe Cabernet fruit and a complement of oak. The complex aroma has blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, vanilla bean, plum, and black currant. The velvety entry has vanilla and oak with soft, seductive tannins and mouth-coating density. The wine has long aging potential and should be decanted.
Ripe blueberry and plum flavors are supple and pleasing, tender and fleshy, yet this shows its age on the finish, where gunmetal and flint are evident.
