Flavor Profile

2010 Profile is a dark, brooding wine with intense aromas of cassis, blackberry, chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, smoke and cedar.  It is very dense in the mouth with ripe, round tannins, and it finishes with lingering notes of black cherry, grilled herbs and violets.

This wine must be decanted in its youth, and with proper cellaring it will age for 15-20 years and beyond.

Its length, sweet tannins and overall intensity of flavors suggest it can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years.”  —Robert Parker, Jr. [93 POINTS]
