This dense, earthy, dark ruby/purple-colored wine reveals plenty of spice and tannin. I am not optimistic that the tannin will ever be fully resolved, but the wine offers good ripeness and purity, a nice attack, and a medium-bodied, structured, austere style. Give it 1-2 years of bottle age; if it improves, it should evolve gracefully for 10-15 years. If not, drink it over the near term.Tel. (707) 253-7153
