Winery Review: Intense, brilliant violet. Aromas of fresh strawberries coupled with more mature notes of forest berry fruits, herbal (tea leaf) and chocolate. On the palate, red and black berry fruit character predominates, backed with mineral notes. Structured, with soft, well-rounded tannins. Noticeable length, with excellent aromatic development as the wine aerates.

My Review: This was very well developed wine. The smell was earthy with a bit of berries, licorice, and lots of vanilla. Red and black berries were the main taste components with vanilla being the dominate flavor. The vanilla was almost overpowering but gave the wine a nice structure. The tannins are very light and lead to a nice mouth feel. It has a long, quality finish. This wine has definitely gotten better with age. It was quite a delight to taste.
