Pleasant aroma and restrained fruit with herbal notes. Perhaps just a bit long in the tooth, I usually enjoy Kenwood wines a bit more than I did this one.

This seems to have regressed slightly - still good but clearly needing more time. I would leave 1-2 years to get real integration. But OK to drink now if you don’t mind the medium-coarse tannins and somewhat primary fruit.

Full bodied, balanced, and savory, with black and blue fruit, oak, and walnut shell aromas. The palate continues the dark fruited theme, with red fruit pushing through with a bit of air, gaining fruit sweetness the longer it sits.

Dark garnet colored and medium full bodied this presents bright tangy black cherry fruits accented by a predominant layer of smoke with hints of menthol, tar, pepper and cedar on a tangy tongue puckering straight tannin finish.

Need to drink with food, something rich and buttery. Slightly flat but medium profile, slightly fuller than medium body.
