The 2010 Rockus Bockus begins with pleasant aromas of blackberry, cranberry and spice. Tasting reveals lots of wonderful spice plus juicy blackberry and plum. A bit oaky when first popped, give it some air and it develops nicely. It ends dry and long with soft and slightly chewy tannins. This is one tasty blend!
