Allowed to breathe in glass one hour. Clear inky garnet-black color. Lovely notes of black fruit (both fresh and freshly baked) and fruit liqueur, nutmeg, cardamom, anise, vanilla, spicy oak, forest floor. Youthful, robust, full body with some noticeable alcoholic heat.

Big body and slightly heavy on the pallette. We had wonderful meaty ribs with this wine and my husband insists it smells like and tastes like dark bing cherries without the sweetness of summer and just a slight hint of mature pepper. True it's not complex but it is very pleasant and a good compliment to the meal. Not past it's peak and definitely ready to drink now.

From Magnum. This has held up for a few days so I'm calling this still in its drinking window.
Simple fruit flavors but nice notes of spices and some pepper really carry it along. I would seek out this wine again.

A bit past its prime. Some stewed plums and balsamic notes. Very dark. Not much acidity but still tannins. Velvet tones.
