Deep ruby. Powerfully scented aromas of ripe cherry, cassis and blueberry, with sexy floral and incense flourishes building in the glass. Sweet and deeply concentrated, offering suave dark fruit liqueur and violet pastille flavors plus notes of vanilla, mocha and allspice. Shows real vivacity for its heft and power and finishes sweet, smoky and very long, with supple tannins building slowly. Drink this alluring wine now with some aeration or, better yet, hang onto it for at least another five years. Tasted December 2015 93 Points,  Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com
