Brite, Big, Bold, Beautiful, and packed with all the fuit that can be put in a bottle. Deep ruby. Nose of red fruits, spice, tabacco, earth, and vanilla. All came over on the palate along with some cassis and chocolate. Big entry, heavy center and a long 4+ lapper finish. Still has some tannins that will take another 2-4 to resolve. A really solid wine with the structure and balance needed to make a superior drink. Love it! 92/91 57 by the boa.13.5% alc.

Found an orphan of the hummer and had to open for lunch. As was to be expected this superior supplier hit another home-run. Just getting into it but the development is killer. No one sign of aging in the color. Still deep ruby, the fruits are more subdued but the nose is glorious. A 4&1/2 lapper. WW
