Dark in color, the wine is rich, intense, opulent and lush. Layers of perfectly ripe, dark plums with velvet textured tannins, lift and sweetness are easily apparent on the mid-palate and in the long finish. This is my first time tasting this wine, and I am already looking forward to tasting it again. This should offer pleasure for at least 15 years or so. 91-93 Pts
