Mahogany purple color.  Luscious, satisfying nose: plum tart, mint leaf, fudge, baking spice and dry cedar wooden cabinet.  Powerful, round, voluptuous and richly textured palate: Valhrona chocolate, cassis and a melange of black fruit.  Good balance, very good grip, correct acidity and excellent length.  We have had variable bottles however.  Very fine.  Now – 2015.
