Fairly deep intense purple colour. Attractive, refined, fairly intense, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cassis nose with some gentle cedary notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, harmonious, quite dense, very slightly smoky, warm ripe plum-cherry-cassis flavours with a lingering, cedary, fairly high acid finish. Has 14.3% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar. Unfortunately, the second bottle was very slightly corked. The recommended best buy 2011 (**+) was released on April 18, 2015 at $18.95. CSPC 403345
