Thursday, December 25, 2008 - Deep..............dark fruit color that gives up a big nose of fruit. A ton of black fruit that surronds the palate on top of medium to fine grained tannins. Opened up even more with about 30 minutes of decanting to reveal a bit of earthiness and some pepper. A truely delicious wine and much better, in my opinion, than the more recent Insignia wines. It seems in the last few years that the wines have become almost too big with really jammy fruit and have lost their old structure. Enjoy!!!
