Needs about 1.5 hours to open up but worth the wait! A deep dark raisin fruit nose, earthy with a bit of leather. A nice garnet color showing some lightness around the edges. The palate has that sweet but raisiny quality not unlike amarone. Really enjoyable bottle of wine.

Enjoyable right out of the bottle. Shows a beautiful balance and solid structure with medium-long finish. Aromas of currant, raisin, brown spice and licorice. Flavors of coffee-mocha and cherry cola. It's time for this wine. Drink over the next 12 months.

Opened a 3L. Let breath for an hour. Still showing well but if you're holding enjoy now. Smooth drinking and quite nice.

Took up to Cookies and it was a huge hit. Very soft and dark fruit. This is drinking great but had lots of sediment so it should be decanted.
