Aerated with a Vinturi and decanted for two hours. Aromas of currant, cherry, plum, cedar and vanilla. Rich and jammy on the palate, with plum, cherry, currant notes and smooth tannins. Leads to a long finish. Full bodied. A fruit forward style. Paired with strip steak.

Fantastic bottle. tasted it in 2010 and now 2 years later and the wine really gained from this. It was great then and better now. Fruity nose with hint of cherry and plum little oak. Very smooth on the palate for the high alcohol content and well balanced. We decanted the wine for 30 minutes and had it with some hanger steak with a brandy cherry sauce. Perfect match.

Thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Loaded with cherry, currant and cedar flavors with firm tannins and a long finish.
