Full-bodied, rich wine with soft, full tannins and primary fruit flavors of cherry, dark berry and blueberry and secondary flavor of chocolate. Hints of toast and creamy oak.

Weekly tasting group #066; A fully blind test. (@ My place): Purple red and a bit reticent bouquet. On the palate concentrated dark fruit juice, sweetness, round tannin and a lot of ok acidity and bitterness. Touch of vanilla. Straight forward and ok wine without much complexity. Ready now and the next few years.

Five days after opening (closed when not being poured), the barnyard aspects are mostly gone and the fruit is coming through a lot more. It's quite good and is certainly showing it's aging potential.

Deep red. Nose of berries. Fruit and mocha, but nothing overpowering... overall balanced. Clean finish.

No funk, no barnyard. Strong initial aroma of blueberries. Soft, mild fruit, smooth tannins.
