Notes From Winery: This Bordeaux blend is approachable, beginning with its juicy entry. Aroma of licorice, berries and dark cocoa mirror nicely on the palate. Muscular, yet agile, with a refinement to the overall finish.

Dark and earthy. Not too much tannin but a strong finish that's not overpowering. Could probably use another year or two in the bottle.
