Deep ruby color with purple hints. Powerful, pungent aromas
of sweet cherry, candied plum and toasty vanillin oak. Full bodied and deep in
dark fruit flavors, with a peppery and strong oak spicy accents background. The solid
tannins build through the finish but there is plenty of supporting depth of fruit here,
not to mention a bright acid lift on the back that adds energy. A vin de Garde with a
great future.
