Decanted for one hour. Vibrant nose of tar, earthy notes and red fruit. Medium bodied, vibrant palate cleansing tannins, lively red toned fruit with tarry and slightly earthy notes. Firm acidic backbone. Wow, this could go for a great barolo. Lovely stuff.

Celebrating my return to wine (Gaja, Cayuse, and old sparklers): Showing a dark garnet color with bricking at the edges...scents of earth, cedar, and dark fruits. Tannins are still firm with flavors of dark fruit dominating and giving way after about an hour in the glass. Medium length finish.

Not a bad wine.. Showing aged flavors and plenty of spice and lavender. Medium body and okay intensity. Still fruit left.

quick impressions- somewhat tart, medium bodied, fairly concentrated with silky tannins and a spicy strawberry taste.
