It is supple in texture and shows attractive depth on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast
This densely packed, opulent wine is saturated in dark chocolate, black cherries, cinnamon and a touch of wood char, as firm tannins and a full body give it a huge mouthfeel. It's impressive now, but will be better after some time to relax.
