Pure ripe notes of dark cherries and plum with black licorice structured by firm chalky tannins and balanced by fresh acid. A pleasant touch of cedar lifts the aromas. Still tight with moderate finish. If you thought Bordeaux no longer offered great value, think again. This wine shines with lamb but will benefit from further ageing; 7 to 10 years, I think.
