  Very dark and opaque. Clearly well made, excellent quality. Overwhelming scent dominated by coffee, leather, dark chocolate, blackcurrant, dark cherry. A fair amount of oak, which is well integrated. Velvet texture. If you like the style (a nod to Napa), then this is for you. Decanted for 3 hrs. Almost certainly has further aging potential. One to have with food though….in this case, rolled sirloin.

  Strong fruit aromas of cassis and blackberry along with parchment, leather and cedar, yet the palate is lean and savory adding some mocha and bitter herbs. Really good stuff. Perfect for red meats. Might add more tertiary notes but no harm in drinking now with decant.

  Decanted and notes from 15 minutes later. Black in the glass. On nose, black cherry, cassis, leather/tobacco (savory), and sweet cherry. On palate, similar flavor profile - full body, medium acidity/ tannins and very long finish. Delicious wine. Really enjoyed this - curious how this will age. 93-94 range. Would buy again.

  Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (EBCC): Double blind. Candied cherry, licorice and blueberry notes to start. Medium-bodied with black fruit flavors on the palate. Pine and earthy notes show up as it opens in the glass. (R&D)

  Extremely dark. Intensely aromatic: fruit, berries, coffee. Dense, thick. You can chew this wine at first. Aromas and coffee on the palate. A bit drying. Ripe tannins. Tannins, dryness and a very slight bitter note give length. Aromas stay shortly. Just a slightly watery impression.
