  Last bottle and sadly corked. Wet cardboard on the nose, absolutely nothing on the palate.

  A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark purple in color. A full bodied red, with black cherry, smokey pepper and spice on long finish, short decant. www.winelx.com

  Very nice, in a good drinking place right now. Dark silky fruit with tar, earth and a bit of sweetness. Juicy. Dark toasted oak, baking spices. Full throttle. Just a hair sweeter than I'd like. Drink now and over the next few years.

  Ideal drinking spot for me- plush berry fruits that are fully integrated, and still youthful. Not showing signs of age by why wait. Great match w carne asada.

  Similar impressions to the previous bottle earlier this year. This one did not disappoint and was probably better.
