Dark ruby red to a pink/orange rim. Aromas of spice box, cherry, loam, cigar box, and cedar. Medium-full bodied, with cherry, currant and cigar box on the palate. Tannins are fully integrated. Short finish, ~20s. Elegant, classy wine. Ready to drink. Would have been better with a longer finish. 87 points (10/16/2004).
