Red burgundy color. Darker fruits on the nose and palate. Secondary flavors coming through, but there is still a freshness to this wine. Tannins are nicely resolved and there is a drying finish. I was surprised by this entry level wine and how well it has aged, but I have a good feeling that this experience is probably different than what most others would have with this wine. I tried this wine at the winery, presumably where it has been cellared properly for a number of years. I cannot imagine that most people would have done the same in their own collections given that it is an entry level wine.

I like this wine better with every bottle. Needed an hour plus decant to wake up, but when it did, it was fantastic. Very well balanced with fruit that is super smooth. Soft tannins and decent red fruits.

Spectacularly rich. Dark, purple color. Nose of berries. Blackberry, raspberry, chocolate and licorice on the palate. Ample, silky tannins still in evidence. A delicious bottle still holding up at 12 years of age.
