This is a fine Tuesday night wine. I would guess that they used old barrels. I decanted for 1 hour, and the wine was smooth and smokey with some hints of beef jerky. IMO it would probably go well with barbecue ribs.

Burnt rubber, forest floor, dark fruit, a whiff of hospital room, overall quite enjoyable, although there is some fierce alcohol on the nose, short simple finish. Overall a good and interesting effort in a broad shouldered style without getting over the top fruity.

Drank over 3 nights. On the first, I played some Parliament to accompany the serious funk in this wine. By the third night the funk had been replaced with bold, muscular notes of meat juice, black cherry and leather. Less George Clinton, more Deep Purple. Impressive wine for the price. Would buy again, and either store for a few years or decant for a few hours.

Fairly nice nose with meaty leathery notes. Average palate.
