A big nose of dark fruit and spices, dark black purple in color. A full bodied red, with blackberry, blueberry, licorice and spices on long finish. In a good drinking zone. www.winelx.com

Time in the bottle has done wonders for this wine! Black as night with dark fruit aromas abound! The remaining tannins add good structure while the integrated oak provides balance to the fruit. Surprisingly good!

This seemed strangely past its prime. Not corked, just surprisingly not interesting, which is unusual for this wine. Flat, not particularly interesting fruit. Just seemed tired.

Young berry aromas accompanied by oak. Jammy, full-bodied, and pretty good length. This has held steady.

Bright dark red fruit with good complexity and mouth feel. Long, clean finish.
