Smoky. Light fruit. Minimal tannins.

As I was right next to a roaring fire, I had to get multiple confirmations that I was smelling a distinct smoke nose, but it is indeed there. This is an impressive wine, nose evolved over time showing a veritable catalog of fruit & secondary aromas. Lithe on palate: firm enough without getting bogged down by tannins: outstanding value. Last had this wine in 2000 and glad they are doing so well!
