  HdR Opening Tasting: This is drinking well now. Seems to be about at peak. Good black raspberry fruit, some roasted herbs and a bit of chocolate. Some complexity. Light tannins. Went very well with Larry's home made bread. Tercero wines always present great values as well.

  A very linear wine, meant in a good way: unadulterated, with a tight nose of blue fruit and a touch of yeast. Licorice and grilled herbs emerge on the palate. No jamminess but juicy and enjoyable.

  1 hr decant. Moderate nose of smoke, blackberry and raspberry. Medium body smoked meat notes with red fruits and herbs. Medium plus finish.

  14.3% alcohol. A really nice wine. Dark red-purple color. Pretty nose of blue fruit with no hints of creaminess or jaminess, along with an olive and meaty edge. In the mouth, lightly rustic but balanced, with strong structure to stand up to the forward fruit and underlying meaty notes. Nicely done. A-
