Good fruit, floral and spice on the nose. The palate shows more spice and some oak, but the fruit stays balanced in the mix. This really floats in the mouth, making this wine very pleasant and nice.

Has berries, lavendar, and some pepper on the nose. On the palate there was a smooth mouthfeel and it stayed iin line with what the nose was showing. Good finish

This wine, as all the wines in the tasting, had a good four hours with the bottle open before we started to taste. There was dark fruit, game and pepper on the nose with a touch of herbal and floral in the background. The palate followed suit and added some smokiness. This wine showed very well and won wine of the night for the group and was my top wine of the night, as well. I did not get any heat at all tonight. This might account for the fact that the parts seemed to really be coming together and not competing for me on this night.
