  Decanted for sediment as this wine threw off a lot. Deep garnet color. Very mature nose of earthy forest floor, old cedar, leather, with some ripe blackberry and cassis in the background. Really nice. Similar flavor on the background with more fruit than shows up on the nose but still lots of nice tertiary flavors. Medium+ acidity, tannins mostly resolved. Smooth finish. Delicious bottle of wine and much better than expected.

  Last bottle. Sorry to see it go, as it has been a great value all along.

  My first experience with this wine, and I think it is quite good, and a very good value. Still very dark in color with no bricking, and a nose that is primary and full of dark fruit. Nice depth, and a silky long finish. Will try to find more.
