Tasting Note:December 7, 2017

Dark ruby red. Well integrated on the nose and palate. Notes of dark plums, some earthiness and spices. Very well balanced but not explosive on the palate. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Seems odd for an 07. A little like a wetter vintage. A touch of greenery underneath with notes of damp earth, dark berries and balanced acidity. Medium plus to long finish.
