An expressive nose of violets, cigar tobacco, and while I initially thought only black fruits - after an hour of decanting - red fruits appeared in quite a pleasant fashion. Medium weight body with excellent balance and strong structure, the tobacco carrying through to the dry, savory finish. Really a nice, honest wine, earning every one of its 92 points. Enjoy now or in the near future.

Smells and tastes like a Riesling, sweetness and minerality in a medium weight body, the fruit is somewhat hidden, short finish. Fills the bill, barely.

Blackberries on the nose, with tobacco notes. Round, fruity body with a soft structure. A little bit of a Cabernet savoriness on a dry finish. Really, this is exactly how an above-average $7.00 Bordeaux wine should taste! Should be very nice in our mushroom garnish for steak.
