I forgot I had this. Opened it up expecting it to be fading but it was really good! Still has a bright dark red/purple color and a jammy blueberry nose. The flavor profile is more dark fruit than earthy notes and the tannins have mellowed. The downside is that the finish is very short.

Very rough straight out of the bottle. Double vinturied, then drank two days later. Then it developed a really nice creamy character. If you have any, sit on it.

Extremely dark magenta. Bombastic blackberry nose, full of herb and wood. Taste is just big Bordeaux style meh, nothing distinctive and bordering on over extracted and covered up by new oak. Tannins are in excess, hold on for at least two more years and hope it's mellowed out.

This wine screams "steak!" to me. Black fruit, grilled meat, and spices greet the nose. Full bodied with black cherry and pepper flavors. Wonderful, intense finish.

Nice wine, but certainly not one of the best of Seven Hills. I think many of their other wines are superior.
