• Purduke Likes this wine: 91 points

  November 24, 2016 - A good choice for a Thanksgiving wine. Immediately very fragrant when opened with dark fruit swirls and cigar smoke character. Deep fruit intensity but not heavy on the palate. Very blackberry but not blueberry flavor with a certain decomposting sous bois and cigar tobacco character. A great match for the varied flavors of a Thanksgiving spread because the wine had such a "base" fruit mixture. But I do have to mark it down for lacking fruit complexity and lift in its profile. Nicely mature it was solid in the glass for more than an hour before retreating a bit. Expect it to hold for 3 to 5 years.
