This was a nice wine which we enjoyed with BBQ steaks, corn, grilled onions, and Portobello mushrooms. Because we were outdoors, the nose was not fully discernible, however, the fruit was upfront and ready to be counted. The dark berries dominated the flavor profile, but there were other elements that all helped with the food pairing, including a bit of cassis, tar and caramel.

Decanted one hour. Deep purple color. Blueberry, cherry, alcohol and wood on the nose. On the palate, getting lots of blueberry and wood. Jammy and forward. 86pts. Not digging this, but not my style. Aloha!

- Brick color with slow forming legs. It's balanced and has flavours of black pepper, prune and black currant with a full body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish.

Earthy aromas of tar and leather with Bing cherry, cranberry, orange peel and peppercorn flavors. Firm tannins and medium finish. Has some moderate complexity, but overall a nice rustic profile that went well with a Mediterranean beef stew.

First bottle in a long time that I have had from AMV that was a regular cork bottle that I have enjoyed. Better than the last few we have had.
