Served with pepper steak and fried rice. Opened 2 hours before dinner but it wasn't until the end of the meal that the wine revealed itself. Strawberry and a floral undertone.

I decanted and waited 20 minutes before trying. There is a nice nose of plum, cassis, black coffee. On the pallet there is more of the same with the plum out in front. A medium finish of black licorice. The tannins were grippy at first but mellowed over time . The wine could use a bit more acidity to brighten it up but overall this is a good value and I am going to get more. I expect it will benefit from 3 to 5 years in the cellar.

deep reddish purple. A terrific wine for this price point. Fruity such as currants, blackberry that are only a little jammy, fresh strawberry, cherry and apricot notes, velvety with barely there soft leather, a little spicy, hint of dried orange zest. Drink now.
