Decanted one hour before serving. Plump and full bodied, with ripe black fruit, mint, and some barnyard action. Shows deceptive power, nice structure, and a silky texture. Long and melted on the tasty finish. Nicely done.

PnP off a restaurant list. This was red fruit forward with some tannic grip on the finish. I would give it at least an hour of air if drinking soon. Most likely has upside.

This wine was a Valentine's day selection. A rich elegant seductive Bordeaux blend from Trefethen winery in Napa Valley. It has a deep dark fruit under tone like crushed berries, and blackberries. A grippy level of tannins with the heavy taste of clove, star anise, cinnamon, and a tinge of vanilla. A light note of clean wet tabacco leaves makes me think of this wine with a warm beef Wellington on a cool winter day. Medium plus alcohol. Recommend decanting

Let it air for a few hours and it went from delicious to super duper delicious. Definitely love the light but bold and somewhat spicy flavors

Blackberry and hints of cinnamon with some tannins that need to be softened with aging.
