Very much liked this wine, did not decant as I had a very long day and simply wanted a glass of wine. Great black cherry lead in.. then transition into a leathery.. toasty mellow back end finish a really good transition. I'm impressed and like a lot. Will certainly decant next time

This wine smells like a pork chop! Seriously. Even after being exposed to air it retains that profile.
Deep deep inky purple with dark purple legs. The nose is smoky, fatty, basil, thyme, black pepper, gravel, and beneath all of that there is some fruit. Palate is a nondescript black fruit, smoke, and black pepper. A decent amount of residual sugar is present and doesn’t seem to evolve with exposure to air. Aggressive chewy tannins. Medium pepper finish and hop-like bitterness that has a lot of alcohol warmth to it.

Strong tannins. Pleasant, but not my first choice.
