A blend of Merlot, Cab Sauvignon and Malbec. Deep red garnet in color. Aromas while decanting of dark cherries and raspberries with touch of tobacco and leather. On the palate, acceptable red fruit flavor but slightly acidic. While not a bad wine, I had greater expectations …. Maybe a slightly tainted bottle.

I opened 1/2 hour before tasting and it was about an 89 or 90 when I did taste. Within ten minutes, it wasn’t good and got worse. Do not air and take the air out with a sucker type device. Reidel Bordeaux/Cab glass.

14.5 ABV. Moderate tannins. I can imagine some strawberry but cloves and something vaguely like shoe polish was more prominent. It did soften up after about 30 minutes in the glass. I was hoping to enjoy this but didn't.

Nice, but this bottle had a tiny bit of TCH. Still enjoyed.

Decent wine - lots of tannins. Slightly harsh at first pour. Overall good value for the price.
