Opens with air, scents hint at cocoa and blueberry, intense on the palate with bright and bracing acid, flavors of black cherry, raspberry, earth and a kiss of licorice on the finish, balanced between richness and vibrancy, very well made, an excellent value, serious wine at a sub-50 dollar price, hold or decant, a great match with Wagyu steak

Decanted for a couple hours, the nose shows scents of herbs, mint and tobacco, full bodied, dry, deep and complex flavors of blackberry, cigar, sage, mineral and black tea emerge, youthful tannins grip to the teeth but it is excellent and long, a perfect accompaniment with prime rib of beef, tons of cellar potential and really great value

Opens with air, fresh red berry and celery scents, balanced, medium to full bodied range, forward with concentrated flavors of blueberry, raspberry and dried herb, some licorice on the finish, accessible and fresh, round and balanced, very nice now
