Tasting Notes: The wine has a tremendous nose of dark fruit, highlighted by black currants. Hand selected new French Oak barrels provide a complimentary toastiness to this wine. It has a medium plus boy with a fine acid and tannin balance. Enjoy the long finish. A classic! Recommended to drink from 2010-2030.
