2010 Viader Blend Limited Edition

Bright red-ruby. Superripe aromas of black cherry, chocolate, truffle and graphite, plus a suggestion of nutty oak. Rich, broad and chewy, with a medicinal quality to its dark berry flavors. Boasts good acidity and tannic grip but finishes a tad dry. Less elegant and perfumed than the estate's other 2010 bottlings.
