Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose of black currants, plums, strawberries, sweet cherries, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, cinnamon, eucalyptus and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, wood, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, beef jerky, spices, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, light vegetables, tobacco and peppercorn.

This is a great GSM Blend from Paso Robles. Showing great complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly, but good after an hour of airtime. Tannins show up after 2 hours in the decanter.
This 15 years old is good by itself or with food. Feels more like a 10 to 15 year old, good quality, Right Bank Bordeaux.
