Clear, deep red colour. Dark, rich fruits on nose - brambly fruits as well. Pure, clean taste - dark fruits, a touch of spice. Long finish - very enjoyable.

Blackish purple-red fruit. Smoke, pepper, and oregano nose opens in glass; dry, dense, stoney, closed cherry fruit; clean acid. Gets a little softer, a little more open, even some sweet. A new leather chair (new-leather chair smell!) that you’re breaking in. Started w/ sauted chicken and then sauted pork (leftovers) but more enjoyable after that’s gone. Very well made.

Has the smoke and kaolin notes that come with maturity, but there's still plenty of rich fruit, quite sweet in the middle, tangy. Very attractive.

Better than last time I had this. Very nice bouquet and rich yet light flavor.
