Alcohol dominated the experience for me. Some dark red flavors and tannin on the finish were the redeeming factors. Probably should have finished this a year or two ago.

Spicy; spice in the nose is nutmeg; some fruit -- cherry -- with good body and heft, but also very fine clarity. Cherry is more apparent in the opening. There is a bit too much alcohol in the nose and in the finish.

Still fruity with very balanaced tannins. My last bottle...I am sad. Consumed with grilled chicken and garlic mashed potatoes.

A nice and light to medium bodied wine with few remaining tannins. The red fruit was obvious but the wine may have started to decline.

Deep blood red. Fresh raspberry/leaf nose with nice spice underneath. Good fresh acidity with smooth cherry fruit and a long dry spicy finish. 3+
