Color: Garnet at the core with a twinge of rusted ruby at the meniscus.
Smell: Mushrooms, chewing tobacco, pot-pourri, cured meats, cranberries, and pomegranate
Taste: firm tannins lead into flavors of dried red fruits, cigar, cedar, cranberries, and strawberries.
Overall: A medium-long finish that still has plenty of fruit and tannin to last some time in the cellar. The aromatics of this wine are simply stellar...and I find myself wishing I had not opened this bottle alone. paired well with pizza and this wine has so much life left in it...Enjoyable now, and hard to resist...I wish I had more.

Another excellent bottle... similar to previous notes. Black and red cherry, iodine, minerals, earth and some floral notes.
