Great acidity. Good black and red fruit (Red/black plum, red/black raspberry), some cedar. Tannins are well integrated and soft. Long finish. Full body. High Alcohol, so be sure this bottle is a bit under room temp or the alcohol can overwhelm a bit.

Really like this wine. Dark rich red color which coats the glass. Aroma reveals the wine is past its prime, however, wonderful cherry & spice flavor with pleasant mouth feel. Well rounded/soft but structured tannis still present. Long lingering flavors. Well made wine.

Last bottle of 6. Still has an immediate cherry aroma with a bit of alcohol coming through a subtle pine back end. Deep purple/maroon in color. Licorice, slate, chocolate and spice notes hits you right away. Smooth, supple and delicious. I do detect the very early hint of age rearing its head.

I continue to like this wine. Very dark color. Aroma of vanilla and oak. Smooth with a deep cherry flavor. Nice mouth-feel. Almost no tannin. A tad less alcohol since last year.

30 min decant; appearance of dark ruby-purple. Nose of figs and dry plums, some hints of cassis with light touch of blue fruits. Jammy dark fruits with some cocoa and black cherries on the palate and some hints of espresso at the end; a bit hot and a bit rough. Medium bodied with a medium finish.
