Mmm! Really pretty nose of cherries, leather and dried violets. Good tannins and balanced acidity. Notes of cedar, tobacco, cherry, and baking spice. Holding up very nicely.

Aromas of Cherry, Tobacco leaf and leather. On the palate very balanced and supple. Medium bodied with medium weight tannins but with a good future for another 10 years. Oak in the background now at 12 years. Perfect with Roast Lamb. This was Wine Spectators #1 wine for 2013.
