This full bodied wine is nicely aromatic with sweet notes of blackberry, black cherry, rose, oak and smoke. It is smooth, fruit is integrated and the tannins are refined (needs 30 min to 1 hr to open). It is ready to drink now and surely will benefit from further aging for up to 10 years. The finish is medium and my impression is: BEAUTIFUL. I am glad I was able to get my hands on a case. Tasted few times, reviewed Dec/09.
