Earthy thick tannic structure, smooth and full of rich coffee and chocolate cherries.

Dense inky purple in color... Earth and cocoa with bold red fruit. Tannins are extremely soft. Still a baby!!! Made up for the night!!

Maybe too much age for my liking, or perhaps I didn't let it open up enough ...wish I had more 2010 so I could figure it out

Almost jet black with very dark fruit. Jammy. Great blend from Paso Robles.
