Once again, a terrfic value!  Dark black raspberry, plum, purple flowers, cocoa powder and dusty mineral scents are just some of the aromas showing on the complex nose.  As in past releases, there's plenty of dark raspberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with dashes of licorice root, wild strawberry and mineral flavors in the mouth.  But the texture here is the best ever, poised and sleek at first before gaining amplitude and depth with air.  By all means enjoy it right now for the forward fruit and sophisticated mouth feel.  But stash some away for a few years and you'll be rewarded with even more intense flavors and breadth.

Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points

 "Wood aged, ripe and with layers of attractive black fruits, the wine is full, generous and with a fine mature balance. It is a blend of 10 grapes, with six months in wood. Drink the wine now."
