Quite a value on this 2015 Bordeaux style wine that could be held in your cellar and age perfectly for at least 5-10 more years. This Clear ruby wine has aromas of violets, vanilla, earth, mocha and smoky tobacco. Starts with a sour cherry flavor, dry well integrated tannins, smooth but lighter body than I anticipated. A bunch of flavors burst from start to middle to finish in this tasting. Gives a long, long finish, which I love that gives flavors of menthol and mint. Great winemaker. Let this wine open up a bit and breathe for at least one hour to experience the complexities and smoothness.
