January 30, 2018 - Black-berry fruits, red cherry, raspberry, eucalyptus, fresh cut grass and tar on the nose, with more tart cherry and red berry fruits. Palate confirms the nose with firm tannins balanced by enough acidity. Alcohol is pretty high, this wine is best served at 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit.

September 19, 2017 - Soft, approachable, and balanced, with black currant, plum, licorice, and toasty oak notes that show good richness, weight, and typicity. As dependable as usual. Ready now, no need to wait.
