  Lovely notes of cherry. Quite firm, gripping tannins. A wine that accompanies meaty dishes well. Lovely

  Really lovely. Leather, tobacco, and raisins on the nose, but subtle and not due to overextraction. Dark cherry, orange zest, and bright qualities while still remaining slightly earthy and grippy. Had it with a rich tomato meat sauce and pasta, along with Camembert dessert. Everything was great pairing-wise, but the Camembert pairing was exceptional. This would go well with any number of rich foods. I'm sure it will last another number of years, but it's great now. Tasted after decanting about 45 minutes or so.

  Really enjoyed this. Roses and dark cherries. Tar and spice. Lovely light/medium weight but with great power and length.

  I think Ben Christiansen on 12/10/2017 captured it perfectly!
