Shiny, inky red and completely opaque. The very pretty nose offers violets, damp earth, and black cherry. Not a big fruit bomb, this expresses a nice level of elegance, finesses, and an attractive spicy component on the mid and back palate. Finishes very clean with a dollop of cranberry. Drink 2010-2015.

Cocoa spice and bittersweet chocolate dominate the nose, along with hints of black plum. The palate reaffirms the cocoa-chocolate element and introduces lush blackberries laced with cracked pepper, Turkish coffee, clove, tobacco and black licorice. The spice element picks up nicely on the back end, with a kiss of cedar, thanks to partial new oak aging. Supple tannins on the edges allow for immediate sipping enjoyment.
