March 6, 2019 - Probably needed more time in the bottle, because there was a lot of tannin and it took a while to open up. I think it was pretty complex--black cherry nose; traditional cabernet flavors but with herbs and maybe mushroom and other earthy notes. Not as sweet or bright as I usually prefer, so it got a little dull after a while. Medium bodied.
