A beautiful wine.  Deep garnet in color with purple hues, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cherries, black cherries, sandalwood, tea leaves and cedar.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  On the palate, this is young-ish with good fruit and acidity.  Flavors of cherries, black cherries, with some earthiness/forest floor notes.  Complex and deep.  It opens nicely in the glass.  Long finish.  If drinking soon, gives this a quick decant.  This is nice on its own but better with food.   Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
