Very tight and coiled today, this wine could use some serious decanting. Pinpoint purple fruit, some dark tobacco and a bit of distilled green pepper. Structurally firm and in need of lots more time.

4th Saturday group uptown tasting (R&C's): Double blind. Notes of red and black fruit give way to a very odd cheesy jalapeno aroma that takes over and I had a hard time getting past it. Medium tannins with flavors of red fruit and spice on the palate. Tastes better than it smells, but this is weird and not very good...likely a compromised bottle and not representative.

Killer Merlot based blend. loads of rose petals and ripe cherries on the nose. Very well balanced in the mouth starting with dried spices (mostly celery seeds) followed by cherries and something like coffee grounds but I can't put my finger on it. Finishes velvety smooth.
$250 is a lot of money for this wine and definitely not worth it, I happened to have found 1 bottle on "clearance" for $125 which I think is a pretty decent price for a wine of this caliber.

nice, lively wine with still a little bit of life and kick to it. Herbal cherry, raspberry, boysenberry....some decent length.
