Written Notes

Dark red-ruby. Slightly high-toned scents of brambly dark berries, licorice, chocolate and exotic spices convey a liqueur-like quality. Very concentrated, ripe and creamy, with its dark berry, black cherry, menthol, chocolate and spice flavors remaining just this side of port-like. I found myself wanting a bit more minerality and Rutherford dust specificity, which may have been muffled by the wine's high level of ripeness. Finishes with substantial harmonious tannins. (14.8% alcohol; 3.89 pH; 5.5 g/l acidity; aged for 20 months in 90% French, 8% American and 2% European oak, 80% new)
