The wine was a deep purple with no hint of browning, with a rich nose of cedar and black fruits. On the palate, this wine belies its age. I would guess it to be less than 10 years old from the ample fruit and tannins, which are close to perfectly balanced. Flavors of berries and tea with a hint of chocolate meld beautifully. This is a wine near its peak which will likely improve a bit more. 93 points.
