This baby is drinking really well at this stage. Nice dense purplish color, sufficient fruit on the nose, and a bit of cassis and black pepper on the finish. Very enjoyable.

Pretty aromas of red cherry, red raspberry, and dried leaves. Very similar flavors on medium to full body. Feels a little tight at this stage, but I don't think much more is going to come out of this. Finish drops off pretty quick.

Slightly musty oak on the front end mars an otherwise enjoyable wine. Would think it was slightly corked but the flavor was the same in bottles from different sources. Very nice black cherry on the midpalate and a moderate finish.

I've had bad luck with this wine -- the last two bottles I had were corked. This was very solid though, with big cherry fruit dominating. More oomph than I expected.

Medium bodied, dried fruits, bay leaf and chocolate are present throughout. A bit of depth on the finish even if it is short. Enjoyable wine and good value.
