A bit of pepper and darker fruits on the nose. It is slightly astringent with a hint of dryness. It's pretty good for a "Bordeaux" blend with a full mouthfeel and flavors that linger. Very approachable.

Decanted about 2 hours. Very fruity nose. Lots of raspberry, strawberry in the mix. Surprisingly the taste is pretty mellow but still berry laden. This is not tannic at all. Very mellow and smooth. Not a long finish. I could see sipping this on a nice evening.

Cork show considerable seepage and slippled out of bottle with very little effort. Likely the cause of spoilage.

Nice blend. Pretty red color. Cab and oak on nose. Sltly pricey for quality.

2015-2016 was the "drink by" window recommended by the experts and I would have to agree.
