Medium(+) ruby, translucent and vibrant. Upon opening aromas dominated by vanilla and cocos/sunscreen later supplemented with blackberry, tobacco licorice, and smoked red peppers. Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, medium soft tannin high alcohol @16% abv and full body. Palate follows nose with vanilla, black and red cherry, milk chocolate, grilled meat. Suave velvety texture, rich with long slick and warm finish supported by good dollop of acidity. Lovely, big and bold and very drinkable.
With turkey mole this is an absolute winner!

Nice wine but oak is a bit heavy handed for my tastes.

Big and fruit forward as expected. Enjoyed over several days and it held up well.

Best showing yet. Fruit forward and oak is well integrated. Should continue to drink well for another 4-5 years.

The notes hit the high points. With some air there is enough backbone to create more harmony. Otherwise its engine is out of tune.
