it's shy in the nose, with suggestions of cassis and smoky oak, while the flavors veer toward berries and spices, swimming in firm tannins and sharp acidity. it's a delicate wine, one of finesse rather than power, but it is very good. a long, sweetly ripe finish suggests ageability, but it's probably at its youthful, fleshy best now.
