Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing red cherries, currants, black plums, light oak, spices, herbs, earth, chocolates, licorice and peppercorn.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Pauillac. Spicy and fruity. Smooth and elegant, with good structure and balance.

This 10 year old still feels young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

I had a few different vintages of this wine and it is very consistent, and much better with age.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.
