  Nose shows violets an faint light earth and black fruit aromas, Smooth mouthfeel of black plum skins, bresola, dried bay leaf, and hints of tarragon. White pepper starts the finish of round tannins, black olive, black currant, metallic ore, and an oak finale. Very smooth and polished but it lacks pizzaz.

  This is an excellent wine. Full stop! But the fact that I acquired it through my club membership for $39 makes it a screaming deal!
  
  The color was quite dark, or maybe the lighting in our VRBO was just not very good. Whatever the reason, it poured into our glasses as very close to opaque in a dark reddish-purple hue. I suspect it would have been better if I had let it breathe a bit, but it was darn good a PnP. The nose had smoke and dark raspberries. There also seemed to be a floral essence that we could not put our finger on, well, our taste buds on. The palate was dark fruits - blueberries and dark raspberries along with some herbs. Suffice to say, it was very enjoyable and I wish I had more. I have no doubt that it will continue to improve for the at least the next five years.

  Had a glass and then next after 4 hours. Closed down a little right after opening and came around with time.

  Nice structure to it but tannins have softened up and the fruit has matured. Drinking quite nicely at this stage.

  A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark black ink in color. A full bodied red, with blackberry, blueberry, spiced flavors on long finish, was very good, short decant. www.winelx.com
