The wine is lush, succulent, and a hedonist's dream, as the fruit is ripe, fleshy and displays plenty of red and black nuances along with hints of spice box and Christmas fruitcake. It is a medium to full-bodied, unpretentious wine that satisfies the palate, pleases the olfactory senses, and lingers in the mouth. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
