Smooth, plenty of fruit left, with burnt cherry, white pepper, leather, peach, earth, mushroom, and notes of chocolate and cardamom. Has several more years ahead of it.

Dark, brown-tinged garnet. Strawberry jam, oak, and dirt on the nose. Medium bodied, sage, dirty raspberries, dried cherries, grainy tannins, a bit of heat, good acid, tobacco, and a dark chocolate medium finish. A lot going on for a sub-$20 bottle.

Mostly the same impression as a year ago, with freshness combined with dark cherry and blackberry fruit dominating, but the vanilla notes felt a bit more prominent this time.

A little harsh without air. After some decanting the wine was more enjoyable and more smoothen.

Easy drinking. Medium bodied. Not to complex but a more than a decent wine.
