Intense purple and reds in color. The aromatics are opulent and very floral. No spice but more depth and richness than normal Merlots. Black fruits were a common theme. Black cherry and plum in the nose. The mouth follows with rich dark fruits of plum, blackberry and some chocolate texture. Lush ripe tannins, full body and the nice creamy velvet tongue-wrapping flavor. Drink for 20 years.
