Deep garnet red with a touch of ruby. Lovely and aged nose with forest floor, mushrooms, a touch savory, earthiness, dark plums and a touch of crushed gravel. Well rounded and medium tannins (6/10). Rich with some age, layers of dark plums, bark, and a touch of gravel. Beautifully integrated and long finish.
