  Popped and poured. Inky dark color. Notes of boysenberry and cassis on both the nose and palate. Hard to describe, but there was a "blackness" to this wine. I kept thinking to myself, "deep, brooding, inpenetrable". Like looking into a well and not being able to see the bottom, but in an exciting way that leaves some mystery. Would purchase again.

  This is reaching it's drinking window now with secondary flavors developing and bacon fat starting to show up on the nose - much different from the fruit forward young wine it was two years ago when I last tasted it. Give it another 6 months as I think it will get even better.

  Love this wine. Nothing subtle about it -- the nose opened nicely with a blend of woody/earthy notes and black fruit. Great, great mouthfeel, and strong mixed berry on the palate. Yummy.

  This is drinking well now. Intense aromatics on the nose - black currant, black cherry, sous bois, oak. Very brooding palate - brash red berry and black fruits with firm chewy tannins. very masculine.
