Wow! Pleasantly surprised by a beringer wine in this price point. Nose is super rich with notes of dark stewed blueberries and black currants, tobacco, and vanilla. Palate is viscous with flavors of dark berries, earth, vanilla, graphite, and over the top dark chocolate. Balanced. Good tannins. Long tingly finish. Could go another 3-4 years but great now.

Initial impressions on PnP: Very heavy on the oak in the mouth, which I'd swear was American, with overpowering vanilla. Opaque purple color. Viscous. Hopefully this settles down with some air. Not fair to rate right out of the gate.

A big wine. Dark in color and not a lot of fruit, mostly oak. Second day was more satisfying.

Ripe bing cherries and sweet wood aroma. Cherries, cocoa powder and really good underlying acidity. Really good right now.
