Muted, ample fruit, savory flavors, moderate volume and length.

Dense, sweet and burly, with prune, coconut and blackberry on the nose. The palate is lush, chewy and not at all hard, while the flavors of berry, prune and tea are slightly herbal. Full on the finish, with just enough acidity and freshness to keep it moving in the right direction. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 88
