Deep opaque purple color. Aromas of dark fruit, tobacco and earth. The wine is full bodied and dry. The palate shows flavors of black plum, blackberry, and dark cherry. Still drinking well, but I do wish I had opened this sooner.

Drank sort of like a higher end to-kalon. Not necessarily the flavor, but the mouthfeel, acidity, and smooth tannin. Certainly not on the same level, but that's the best point of reference I have.

Very dark ruby red with a robust nose of violets, black fruit, and cedar. Tastes of ripe Napa fruit, cassis, licorice, cocoa, and oak. Medium to full bodied with a lengthy finish. Drinking well now.

Really dense with lots of tan in still showing. Nice complexity and balance of dark fruits. Delicious. Much better than a year ago. Wish I had more.

Extreme smooth tannins. Easy drinking
