Not sure I can add much to the notes already made by ajbergren and KillerJones. So glad I’ve practiced patience with this wine. Decanting for 15-30 minutes balances and smoothes out the flavours.
Rich black berry fruit, with hints of blueberry jam, medium acidity and tannins, present, but beautifully mellowed. Long lingering finish. Paired beautifully with the first BBQ ribeye of the season. Fantastic wine = It’s not often R and I fight over the last glass. 😧
Pale, light purple colour in the glass. Aromas of lightly smoked black cherries, violets, black currants and maybe blueberries? Agreed with PSPOT, this is a Very light bodied wine with low tannins, some acidity (good amount, not too much), mild astringency. Mild, short finish of smoky (but no cedar) cherries.
I enjoyed the lightness in this wine but R did not enjoy - finish was too short. A bit expensive for an OK wine; lots of other great choices available for the $$

Excellent wine and wonderfully paired with Spiced Beef - thanks R n K for the reco!
Clear, medium ruby in the glass. Aromas abound with smoky black cherries & black bramble fruit. Taste of the fruit combines with a Hint of leather in a dry, mouth watering, medium acidity, with a mild astringency wine with grape tannins flavours. The finish Includes Hints of dried herbs and chocolate. This wine is full bodied with a long, smooth slightly smoky, complex finish.
Really Fine wine and excellently paired! I think this would be equally good with a tortieire ....
