3/4/2010 - mdstenner wrote: 88 pointsThe aromas grow richer as the wine opens up, with deep cherry, tobacco, and spicy notes, with a medium-bodied and leathery palate where the fruit plays off the acidity to fine affect. Bone-dry, with rich cherry flavors, and velvetty red fruits. An impressive wine for the money. |

After 6 hours in a decanter it does start to reveal some more nuances characteristics but for now this is primary fruit, heat and teeth gripping tannins. A bit like being punched in the mouth for now - needs 5-8 years to calm down.

2/28/2010 - cmr Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery well made and I know with a little more time this will shine even more, but right now its balance is a little out of focus. Great red fruits, good smooth full body and excellent structure.
