Didn’t age nicely, unfortunately. Dark, dark fruits and some unappealing tertiary notes that suggest over extraction and a shortened lifespan as a result.

Beautifully balanced, no sharp edges but has an exotic elegance to it, hints of cherry, spice and herbs on the palate to complement a similar but subdued nose.

Super tight. Shut down at pop n pour, needed a two hour decant to open up. certainly needs more time. Expect good things from this in the future.

My opinion Dick Shea's wines shine at about the 5yr mark and this wine proves it.

We really liked this wine. Terrific nose, very nice fruit and complexity on the palate, soft finish. Worth the price of admission.
