Intriguing bouquet with beautiful red berries, oak. licorice and laurel. On the palate autumn and forest floor impressions, red and black berries, some anise, good acidity, medium tannin, slightly sticky and a bit drying in the finish.

This 8 year old wine was still youthful on the nose and the palate. A complex nose of bright cherry fruit with hints of spice and some pine notes was confirmed in the palate. It was medium bodied with good acidity and medium tannins which carried to an enjoyable finish. A wine of good finesse.

Somewhat reticent nose of pine forest, olives, and cherry, with a pleasant, slightly tannic mouthfeel featuring bright cherry flavors. Medium-to-light bodied wine showing much more depth and complexity than you might expect. Could use more cellaring probably.

I was very pleased to see how this was doing. Cherry, mint, and tobacco. I will leave my last 4 for another 4-5 years. (If properly stored).
