  This seemed smoother and richer than the bottle we drank a year and a half ago. Red cherry and raspberry flavors along with some spice on he mid palate and some forest floor notes. We really enjoyed it.

  After two or more hours of air, it's still pretty structured and tough. Nice nose of bright red fruits, but on the palate, it's a bit thin in the middle and a bit too thin/structured for my taste. I'd like to say that it will get a lot better in time, but with a few hours of air it's more of the same, so my hopes aren't too great for age-related improvements. Overall, a bit disappointing.

  Pop and pour. Typical Shea fruit and structure. Full and round. Great bottle to enjoy if you don't want to think to much about it. Nose and finish are the plus side of this wine. The mid palate was a little thin. I would say you could give this wine another year to see if it develops some of the structure it need mid palate, but i wouldn't bet on it. Crowd pleaser.
