Lovely wine. Drank over two days with a very nice puttanesca. Cherry, plum, floral nose with spice and leather notes. Very well balanced in light of its high abv, big but not flabby, with a wonderful mouth feel and a solid finish.

Dark ruby in color. Full, forward, & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of briary & earthy notes, spices, pepper, dried herbs & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced, & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries and plums with spices, herbs, Oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging. IMHO, I cannot see how this wine could possibly rate a mere "81" unless it was an off bottle.

Amazing value for such a well balanced and tasty wine. Drank over several evening and it improved each time. Lots of red and dark red fruit with a bit of Zinfandel spice.

balanced but still a bit high on the alcohol feedback, would definitely wait year or two for it to mellow out some more. notes of ripe berry, warm spices and wood.
