A very solid wine that delivers nicely, outperforming many wines at twice the price and is well worth the money in my opinion. Translucent, dark purple blueish color and soft nose. Blue and blackberry fruit, plum, and other dark fruits. Tobacco, oak and leather notes. Better than average in terms of flavor and extraction. Don't over anticipate, but for the money, this is a solid mid week wine that satisfies. Give it some air and enjoy. 90+ Points.

Solid wine, dark cherry, some mint as well. Finish could be longer. Definitely opened up over an hour.

A bit too early to drink. Pleasant and enjoyable to drink but needs more time to come together. Fresh dark fruit flavors and tight tannin.
