The surprise favorite at a tasting that included some very high flying wines from Napa and Bordeaux. An amazing nose that practically filled the room, bright plush fruit and a lingering finish. "Slutty in the good way," as my wife would describe it...

Pop and pour with BGE steaks. Deep ruby in the glass. Luscious nose of fruit, earth, some spice. Palate shows additional notes of mocha and graphite. Minor layers of raspberry, hint of leather. Moderate finish with nice balance and acidity. 14.5% ABV - so there is just a little heat, but not enough to be a distraction. Overall, very nice.

Incredibly smooth from start to the long finish. Very fruity up front, and the time in the bottle helped mellow out the acid I remember from Apr 2012.
