Notes of darker/dried fruits, dates and wood spice on the nose.  The palate is well-integrated with plum, black cherry, blueberry, and woodsy-cedar notes.  Despite its age, tannins are still somewhat youthful and acidity is fresh.  Purple berry flavors linger on the long finish.

This wine is reminescent of a Rioja Reserva.
