Drinking really well right now. Tannins are rich, but fully resolved. Long finish. Plenty of sediment, so pour slowly and don't disturb your bottle. Used the ah-so, but the cork was still in good shape. This could likely hold a bit longer, but I'd drink up while it's in a good place. This is from the era when concannon still made quality wine, not the mass produced plonk they shill now.

Black color with thin purple rim; nose of dark chocolate, plum, blackberry compote, and a hint of vanilla; structured and big but soft tannin with a fresh finish. Very good.

Flavors of cherry, black pepper and chocolate. Deep tannins with overtones of spice and earth. Good for value
