The color is, as expected, dark and deep... telling you exactly how this wine is going to smell, taste and feel. This vintage has a dark ruby hue. On the nose, intense dark cherry and dried plums mingle with a hint of vanilla. The cherries are on the palate as well, then joined by stewed plums and cacao... then on the finish sticking with the dark side of things you get dusty spice and plum that bring out the classic Petit Verdot tannin and structure... Rock On!
