Good saturated ruby. Superripe aromas of cassis, black raspberry, bitter chocolate and licorice; less herbal than this producer's other cabernets from this vintage. A fine-grained fruit bomb, with captivating sweetness. This really expands on the back half yet dances on the palate. The lush tannins reach the incisors.
