  Not quite as powerful as I would expect from a WA wine from this producer. Does not look like this will improve either.

  Decanted for over an hour before trying. It wasn't until the last glass at about 2-2 1/2 hours where the wine finally opened. When it did it was a great well rounded metlot blend.

  A bit stark, muddled and uninspired for my taste.

  Black cherries and mocha on the palate. Nice grippy, chewy tannins and a long finish. Lots of fruit, but very well-structured - really enjoyed this. Opens up with some air, so recommend decanting. Surprising amount of sediment.

  Dark, fruit-driven and harmonious. Translucent ruby purple color; enticing nose of blacurrants and other dark fruit, dark mocha, and a vegetal broccoli note; wonderful fruit, but under control, with earthy mocha in the background and lovely chewy tannins for balance; great finish, with black cherries and a bit of swamp at the end. Gosh, what a lovely surprise - really enjoyed this. 56% merlot, 36% cab. sauvignon, 8% syrah.
