Nice balance of smoke, game, meat jus and roasty aromas with oak, red, blue and blackberry fruit. Super dry on the palate. Woody. Maduro tobacco, cigar box, blue and purple fruit with blackberry juice. Vanilla notes. Big, powerful and dry, but great flavor complexity.90 pts.5/10/13 at winery Read More
