Good dark red, healthier than the above. Plum, tobacco, chestnut and pungent oak spices on the nose. Rather suave and ripe in the mouth; not especially concentrated but supple and sweet. Drinking quite nicely today. Finishes with rather soft, dusty tannins.

Rating for United States-California: 87 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: drink now<br/>
