Drinking very nicely, this wine bursts from the glass with rich aromas of cherry, chocolate, truffle and loam. The fruit factor is ramped up, delicious and coats the palate with bright cherry candy flavors. But this is more than a fruit bomb; the acidity and ripe tannins balance it out as it runs into a clean, lengthy finish. ——P.G.(6/1/2010)—— 92
