Nice wine, but aging faster than I had hoped. Lots of dried fruit at this point. Might want to drink up. Not sure it will get better. Maybe just bottle variation?

This big powerful red is inky dark and is delicious right after being corked but gets better and better the longer you sit with it. Fast legs and no sediment this wine is foresty on the nose, with scents of rasins, cedar bark and mineral. Sweet berry like flavours such as strawberry are complimented by prune and opposed by tobacco, tea and led pencil flavors. This fleshy, full bodied wine finishes long and has plenty of tannin to last several years. I would be happy to keep drinking this from now until 2020 at least. Beyond that, my tongue isn't advanced enough to tell you in advance:)

Although a nice wine and we enjoyedit, it seemed that it may have been a little past it's peak.

Good fruit and acidity. Would be an excellent wine if it was a little more concentrated. Still very good.

Well balanced, bright fruit and heavy back up from oak and tannins with leather and smoke tones. Delicious.
