A muscular, masculine wine, this nevertheless manages to show real balance and poise despite its very considerable power. Ripe and round in style, with expressive aromas and deep flavors recalling black plums, dark cherries and cassis, this displays a concentrated core of fruit accented by lovely notes of spices, smoke and carpaccio. Platinum award winner at the San Diego International Wine Competition.
