Yeah, soft on the palate and tannin. Nice level of maturity. Earthy palate. Easy drinking. Let's let this open up more. Later. Fun drinking. Very straight forward and quaffable. Thanks Sam and Stacy a la Binnys. Still pretty medium bodied.

This is kind of special, given the age and the price. The tannins are soft(ish), and there is quite a bit of minerality, too. The fruit is receding, but what is left is dark, ripe red fruit. Nothing spectacular, but nice value.

Decent value wine. Medium body, lots of terroir but not a lot of fruit. Not terribly complex but very drinkable now.

Medium bodied, balanced black cherry fruit with subtle earth, leather and tobacco.
