Opaque red blue. Vegetal and floral aromas with muddled blueberry. Medium plus bodied, medium plus alcohol. Blueberry emerges more prominently on the palate. Unbelievably smooth, round and well integrated. So complete. Tannins are perfect here, just enough to cut the beef tallow and provide an enjoyable finish. I can only imagine this will get even better, but why wait. This is near the top of my historical scale.

Bruised blue and opaque in appearance. Licorice, blackberry, faint oak on nose and palate. Full bodied, medium plus alcohol, dry as a bone. Medium plus acidity and gum drying tannins. This will round out and further develop with age. Excellent.
