This has always been good juice, and is drinking particularly well right now. Plenty of fruit up front, but not over-extracted. Nice tannins and structure. Time in the bottle has helped this one a lot. A great "Tuesday evening" wine!

A good wine for easy drinking. A fair amount of berry fruit up front and melts in to a more earthy tone that is nicely balanced. Could be held for another year and may improve the structure and mouth feel but a nice wine to enjoy right now.

This was very impressive. Great rich nose of blackberries, nutmeg, and violets. Concentrated black and blue fruits on palate, supple tannins, with touches of oak and good minerality. It is slightly fleshy on the finish, but very balanced with additional black fruit and peppery spice saturating the palate with deep and tasty flavors.

Popped and poured - drank over about 3 hrs. Currant, blackberry, and licorice on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate. A little rough around the edges and maybe a little thin. Pretty tasty but nothing earth shattering.
