Complex and pleasant nose, not too fruity. Balanced tannins with hints of blackberry, plum, black cherry, spices, oak, and black pepper. Bold and smooth. Dry finish.

Who would have thought that after all that waiting, I'd finally end up opening this bottle on a random Thursday night in December? My brother got me this bottle for my birthday back in February and I was waiting for a celebratory moment to open it, but hey, who says I can't celebrate a Thursday?
Deep plum color, and almost completely opaque. Heady, subtle, deep fruit scent. Toasted oak and vanilla, black cherry, baking spice, maybe a little tobacco? Well worth the hype. Taste is smooth and soft and it gave me a little chill. Medium body, lovely tannin to balance out the beginning. I love it.
Yum. Amazing.
