Overall thoughts: High, low quality tannings and a significant bitterness on the palate really detract from this wine. Otherwise, it's a solid effort with nice body, solid fruit, and a bit of complexity. 83 - 84 points. Mediocre to pretty good wine.

Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of flowers, currants, plums and a hint of spice box. Flavors of red berries, cherries, raspberries and plums. Medium to tart acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold.

First Epoch in a long time and it’s nice. Thought I’d waited too long, but this one’s still in it’s prime.

Nose: dark fruit, baking spices, blueberry pie, jammy, bramble, eucalyptus, chocolate, cedar
Palate: raspberry and blackberry jam, black cherry, cedar; full body; drying tannins;
Overall: it has a nice nose but the structure feels a bit off, a lot of drying tannins. Good if you want a big fruit/jammy wine with food.

Cherry, vanilla, silky tannins and a long finish. Restrained, layered, and elegant.
