Amazing color and nose. Hints of cedar and pine cone. Bold and elegant blackberry and raspberry, with Creme brûlée. One of the best wines I have had in a while.

Inky black/blue, someway closed nose, huge body with some complexity & high alcohol (14.7%), but well balanced & a fairly short aftertaste. It will last decades, but I am unsure that it will improve. Not my style, but it will have many fans.

シアトルで購入。$64.95×1.09。
カリフォルニア産と見紛うほど大変濃い。チョコレートフレーバーも感じる。もっと寝かせても良かったか。
