Fabulous nose with blackberry, cassis and oak. Lovely palate with dark fruit, cassis, oak and black licorice. Firm but moderate tannins. Paired perfectly with steak. Long finish with a bittersweet chocolate note at the end.

Cracked open tonight. Bouquet exploded across the table as I decanted. Put down half the bottle. Wife really liked the depth and heaviness. A bit young. Anxious to see how it opens overnight.

- Crimsom color. It's balanced with a full body. Round texture with a long finish.

A truly fabulous wine. Deep, dark and complex with mocha, dusty blackberry, tobacco and subtle dried herbs. The finish goes on and on.
