90 points (Reviewed December 2017)

Deep red. Musky cherry pit and red currant scents along with subtle floral and herb overtones.  Gently sweet and focused on the plate, offering nicely concentrated red fruit and spicecake flavors that firm up slowly on the back half.  Dusty tannins come in slowly on the finish, which leaves a hint of bitter chocolate behind.  Drinking window: 2020 - 2025
