I like this wine. Long legs. The smell is of a dew, deep cherry rounded with lavender. It is mostly balanced but becomes a bit uneasy towards the back. The flavors are at first cherry but then quickly mellows to burnt toasty cedars and oaks, a bit musky and I sense it's eager to come out of it's shell and tell you more. Perhaps the 20 minutes it's been open is quite not enough.
I'm liking it. It certainly is a nice change from the last cab of Copain I had and yes, the Copain was delicious.
Oh yeah, and the finish is long.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. It smells like cranberry, cherry, plum, and maybe a hint of oak. It tastes of chocolate, Blackberry, and Plum. I really enjoyed this wine. The body is full with a long finish.

Smells cherry, light raisin yummy. Taste like dark cherry, chocolate, oak. Finishes long.
Smooth and I like the complexity like a cab but this is definitely not a cab.
