Really delicious. Super dark. Concentrated blackberries, with underbrush and a little chocolate. Despite the size and weight, balanced with good acidity, giving it focus. Big sweet tannins just starting to round into form. Persistent finish. Sort of Northern Rhone meets top shiraz hybrid. Will get better with another year or several. The 13.9% alcohol is just right.

Consistent notes from last bottle, but I would adjust the drinking window to 2015. This is a fruit forward wine, go with it and enjoy it now.

Intense blueberry on the nose. Thick and chewy mouthfeel. Fruit forward and incredibly rich. Very nice wine.

Dark ruby red, fruity yet earthy, blackberry & cherry, needed some decanting. Best to drink now. Think it's at it's best.
