Rich, lightly smoky tobacco-leaf nose greets you first, followed by ripe berries and hints of mint and promises of licorice. Definite berry character on the palate with a tannin structure that should soften well during maturation. A rich, smooth wine that is well-balanced with a delightfully subtle aftertaste.

Cloves, pepper, leather and a touch of smoke on the palate give it a masculine edge. Tannins are firm but friendly. Pair with grilled ribs, sausage. — S.K. (9/1/2009)" -Rated 87, Wine Enthusiast
