Nice nose. Smooth tannins. Lasting aftertaste. A bit metallic, but very nice. Might be slightly over prime but a wonderful wine still.

Used half a bottle in my Bolgnese sauce and drank the rest. It was wonderful. It actually got better by the second or third taste. May need opening early, or was just a surprise taste that taste buds needed to acclimate to it.

Great color, nice nose, velvety, with dark fruit notes. Tannins were subtle and not overly acidic on the end, so I think it would best be drunk sooner rather than later in its range.
