Have always been a fan of this wine, which is definitely not the profile of wines I typically prefer. It’s sweeter than most wines I enjoy but I always find the wines well made and somewhat complex. So this bottle… bought a bottle at a local store while on vacation in Hawaii. Nose has strong notes of strawberries, ink, and a hint of barnyard funk. The flavor is red fruit dominant. Nicely balanced. Very firm tannins that could use a long decant or, preferably, some time. It’s a sweet wine but balanced with strong acid. There are secondary notes of tobacco and truffles. Once again I’m impressed with this wine! At a typical cost of $60 this is well worth the price.

Very lush, but needs long decant or maybe some cellar time.
