Lots of sweet bold dark berries, the aromas seem to be masked by the body of the wine, there is a hint of eucalyptus or something quite fresh behind the fruit, you can smell the alcohol as well. Full bodied palate, thick and juicy.Tannins were smooth and well integrated the alcohol didn't materialize as the aromas would suggest. Good wine, not much my style but nice and enjoyable. might be interesting to see what a few years do, good PQR as well.

Blend of Cab/Malb/Syrah - Great price and solid performer here. Surprisingly on the "lighter" side given the blend, but 13.5% and has a medium bodied mouth feel...tart acid and light but coating tannin. Lots of dark berry and plum fruit. Some mocca notes also. Finish is medium/long and has similar qualities. I think this has some potential to be put away for 1-2 yrs.

New @ mlcc - Blend of Cab, malbec and a little syrah. Nice nose of some light vegetal notes and meaty/sausage. Palate is bright with some acid and berry fruit. Soft and pleasant tannins. Finish is long and tasty with some vanilla and other notes that add nice complexity. 18$ CAN.

Still nice and tasty - lots of fruit today, a little unbalanced with a little less/acid/tannin that i would like to balance out the fruit.
