One of the case I bought two years ago. Still has a very smokey/fruity nose. The fruity/spicy flavor is beginning to fade into a more tannic and caramel taste. I'd suggest finishing this up now before it degrades further.

Smokey plum and cherry and some heady, alcohol smells. Straightfoward black cherry fruit and dry, tannic, ganache minerality on the finish. This is a simple, pure, and easy to drink red. Beautifully energetic mouthfeel. This is a deal.

Opened by accident, meant to keep this one at least a year or two. After 24 hours open it is still all heat. This wine is just too young to me right now.

Enjoyed a full bottle of this wine at a wine tasting bar in South America. Nice dark ruby, purplish color. The wine has beautiful aromas of fresh crushed cherries and toasty/smoky oak. It has an elegant wiff of exuberant fruit that doesn't quit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and mild spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit flavors stick nicely with hints of bacon lurking in the background. This is a wine that you’ll want to buy and consume at for almost any occasion, whether at a fancy dinner party, or just curled up on the couch watching a football game. Fun and delicious.

Opened this about 2 hours before drinking. This wine was tasty but a bit short
