The cork came out much too easily when the bottle was opened. In fact, I could easily recork the bottle. Improper size cork. Great color. The nose shows oxidized aromas of balsamic vinegar, port, and a hint of dark berries. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and some class. The medium plus length finish features some tannic grip.

Great color. The nose shows slightly closed aromas of dark berries, herbs, flowers and a hint of oak. This is medium full bodied on the palate with very good concentration and good class. This shut down after about an hour but then regained its fruit later. The medium plus length finish features moderate tannic grip and alcoholic heat.

Highly perfumed with notes of violets and a melody of red and black fruits. It’s very seductive and stunningly similar to the appealing notes found in a high end Bordeaux. The body is medium to full with a wonderful balance of creaminess, fruit and structure. Finish is long, chewy and full of spicy fruit. Perfume permiates throughout. WOW.

Mature with notes of tomato vine and other funky vegetables. Paired great with pasta and vodka sauce.
