Aerated into wide decanter, where it was left to breathe for about an hour before dinner. By time dinner was ready the wine had opened up the fruit that was barely there on PnP. Enjoyed with grilled asparagus, mashed and seasoned red potatos, and several very thick filets cut from a beautiful tenderloin, also cooked on the grill. Wine is a great value if you can find it.

Shared this bottle with my fiancée over a very good taco dinner. This is a great bottle of wine! Double decanted to see if it would smooth things out, and it was lovely! Cherry in the nose and mouth, and soft tannins made this a great drink. I have one more bottle, and I'm looking forward to drinking that one as well!

Dark purple color. Very smoky on the nose with a good helping of vanilla oak. More balanced on the palate though but still a bit heavy handed on the oak but there was enough dark fruit and overall balance to make it enjoyable. Medium acid and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel but the wine felt bigger than the mid 13% abv listed on the label. I was actually not expecting much from this wine and was happy with it.

Bright and clear. Medium intensity all around. High tannins balance out the acidity. Green peppers, dark berries, minty and a hint of mild tobacco.
