From magnum. A beautifully balanced, still youthful wine. Slightly translucent, medium-dark color shows no bricking on the edge. Intense spice, menthol and slight cardamom accent to the black cherry nose. Asian tea inspired dark cherry palate, medium-bodied with a 20-30 sec finish. This magnum could've easily held here for 2-4 more yrs.

Nice blend. Agree with many of the community notes cry ". Cherry cola comes to mind. Paired with pasta and chicken meatballs and eggplant rolatini. We like it but not sure. we will replace with another one. Prefer a wine with more complexity or a Chianti reserve.

Paired with lasagna. Perhaps a little one-dimensional at the beginning of dinner but improved over the evening and was quite tasty. Maybe not as good as an Italian Chianti; but a worthy substitute.

Smooth and easy drinking. Not complex, but well put together.
