Not too impressed with this wine....after 30 minutes of decanting I got a slight berry smell and some pepper. 30 minutes later it sort of went dead? Flavor never really popped for me.

Bright garnet color. Subtle spice, leather, and tobacco nose with sweet oak nuances. Boysenberry and blackberry—yum, yum—and licorice on the palate. Well structured, but not too long a finish. Don’t really notice the high alcohol. Well integrated tannins that don’t bite.
