Been a minute, so checking in here, and this is holding up better than I'd hoped actually. Dense coloring with lightly bricking garnet edges. Aromas of dark fruits, earth, licorice, dark chocolate, damp leaves, dried spice drawer, and a touch of eucalyptus. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of dark fruits, dark chocolate, licorice, and clove. Good with a burger tonight.

Wish I had a cellar full of this. It took a few years of waiting but it was really worth it. Finished my last bottle tonight with a terrific porterhouse steak, roasted steakhouse potatoes with garlic and rosemary. Also had fresh steamed spinach with excellent balsamic vinegar. The wine was perfect with the entire meal.

Nice blend of blueberry, cherry, black raspberry, earthiness, & mocha, mild tannins and long finish.
