Deep dark ruby dark core purple reflections delicate bright rim. Fresh plum fruit a somewhat open bouquet subtle hints of fine oak orange zest. Powerful somewhat restrained discreet plum note well-integrated tannins chocolaty touch on the finish seems closed overall at this stage a substantial fruity food wine with future ageing potential.

Sweet licorice chocolate and tobacco at first. Opens up with blueberries dark plums and a steely mineral core. Full and really smooth texture. Velvety tannins and a wonderful long finish with a very attractive fruit. Enjoyable already but tannins will integrate further with time. Try in 2016.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Fleshy with lots of intense blackberry plum and boysenberry notes blended together and wound with licorice strips and singed alder wood. Solid grip through the finish has a slightly chewy feel now but should soften soon enough. Best from 2015 through 2025. 3333 cases made.
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider: 91 Points
Floral black raspberry and licorice in the nose soft ripe tannins and a finish with sweet black cherries. This drinks well young due to the ripeness of the fruit and it should age for at least another 10-15 years.
