Very deep in color and aroma, with super-expressive Amarone-esque notes up front. Chocolate covered cherries, black currants, raisins and saddle leather mix with cedar chest aromas on the nose. The palate is filled with long and silky red fruit flavors filled with cedar and dusty tannins. Latent heat and a slightly-grainy tanninc structure on the finish may fade with time, it would be a shame if it did not.
