Blackberry, prune, coffee, mocha, pepper spice, salty brine, charred beef, eucalyptus. Still shows some freshness on the palate, completely integrated tannins. Flavors lack some concentration, but otherwise drinking beautifully and a killer bargain at sub-$30.

Delightful, full-bodied and smooth. Paired very nicely with Cajun Jambalaya. This wine is still within an excellent drinking window and whoever ended it at 2017 underestimated the aging potential of this wine. Too bad I only purchased one bottle back in 2014.

This changed for the better alot over the last few years. Very nice bottle with a lush and creamy plum. Too much acid years ago, now very well balanced.

Delicious, with plum, blackberries, tobacco, a little dust, soft tannins and long finish!
