Nose was powerful black berries, floral, dried cherry, dried plum, spices, sour fruitness, oyster. Palate was strong tannin, low sourness, high sweetness. I could feel that this was the wine of high quality, possibly the best bordeaux blend wines i've had. However me and my wife suspected some TCA, and also we prefer high quality pinot in general as well.

A little on the expensive side but in comparison to others in the same bracket it holds its own easily. Dark berry fruit, smooth all around just a very well made wine. Very tasty and still very young which I think will only get better.

Ruby red in color, this wine had aromas of oak, cinnamon and other spices. Notes of dark fruit, plum, cassis, currants, candied orange peel on the palate, this is smooth, seamless, with ultra-fine tannins flowing to a nice, long finish. A medium- bodied wine, this is fresh, pure, and elegant. A beauty!

This is a very nice wine, very refined and well made. Aromas of bright ripe red fruit. Rhubard, cherry pie, cinnamon and spice on the nose. Hints of mushroom, white pepper and truffle. Tasting red fruits, cherry compote, and chambord. The texture is velvety smooth. Very well balanced with bright and calm acidity. The alcohol in non-apparent and the tannins are sweet and inviting; give way to pleasant lengthy finish.
Opened and decanted for maybe an hour. Although this wine seemed to be a pop and pour wine, it is still young. All the potential nuances have not yet surfaced. I fell that this wine will continue to evolve and develop for three to ten years. When it matures it likely going to totally wow.
Drink with or without food. This wine will definitely impress you for quite some time. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
