We could drink this wine every day. Nicely developed, tasty dark berry flavors without being over-rich, with nice acidity and well-integrated tannins. Without much experience with wines of this region, we really enjoyed what to us seemed an Italian inflection.

patina: very shroomy with a touch sour notes, but actually holding up quite well for this level. Very earthy, rustic t’s, but a good aged daily drinker.

C- Deep garnet N- Cedar, cassis T- Medium-bodied, soft tannins, dark fruits of blackberries, earth and cedar.
For the price and if one knows what to expect this is a nicely priced Bordeaux that holds up well over time. Don't expect California fruit forward characteristics.

Incredibly fresh and polished. In peak zone now, has 10 more years before it starts to fade.
