- Dark red tile color; bouquet reveals leathery, cherry jam, lead pencil and mineral aromas. Medium bodied; very smooth with big tannins that blend with succulent cherry flavors. Tannins will smoothen further. Long finish. Can be enjoyed over the next 10 years. Decant before serving; goes well with roasts, game or aged cheeses. Classy.
