  Medium weight, red fruit and well integrated oak. Not the most complex wine I have ever had, but very good.

  A bit of green on the nose but overall very fruity and easy drinking.

  Dark fruit is accented by tobacco, spring flowers and wild herbs. Good depth and texture. There is a level of elegances here that is delightful. Good juice.

  90 minute decant. Very syrupy grip on the stems with dark fruit and dark chocolate offering a very appealing nose. Unfortunately this didn't continue across the palate, which was extraordinarily dry and chalky. while concentrated front palate Thai sentiment continued throughout, not showing much fruit at all.
  
  Nearly 4 hrs after decanting the nose has softened, showing red fruit, violet, lavender and spice. The dusty chalk has faded, allowing currants and red fruit to appear. While this is my last bottle, if I had more I'd probably give this 2 to 3 hours to open up.
  
  Easy drinker and fairly priced at $40, I'd pair this w poultry (smoked chicken for us tonite) or fish if aired sufficiently; based on the 90 minute decant I'm not sure what I'd do with this, as it was too one-dimensional to enjoy at that point.
