Deep ruby. Hypnotic bouquet of red and dark berries, cherry-vanilla, Asian spices, cola, dark chocolate, violet oil and smoky minerality. Deep, sappy and pure, offering luscious, mineral-tinged black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors and turning spicier with air. Supple tannins add finishing grip but are overwhelmed by the wine's energetic fruit. The minerality adds cut and urgency to the extremely long, pliant finish. Very sexy stuff.

Port like. Had a magnum for Christmas party. Some in the group felt it was too sweet, too rich on the palate. I for one felt it gave extreme pleasure, however, it was not subtle, no tannin attack. Pure lush Cabernet. To me and my French neighbor it was perfect. It is a wine that needs concentration of mind. I will look for more.
