Enjoyed during the rescheduled Open That Bottle Night get together. Open about 2 hours before drinking. Nose was very big & fruity, however the taste lacked something. It was very good and full up front, but the taste quickly went away mid-palate...was expecting something a little more here.

Upon initial uncorking, was very tight/closed. After approximately 30 minutes in the decanter, it opened nicely. Garnet color, soft finish. An hour later, it had, I believe, peaked, and the finish was very soft and quick. A very very nice wine, yet not rising to unforgettable status.

Solid, still lots of spice. Worked well with Italian food.

excellent, tight at first but came together relatively soon. Good fruit, subtle tanins

Delicate nose. Garnet color. Relatively translucent. Soft body, very silky. Be careful not to serve this with anything overwhelming.
