Beautifully translucent in the glass. Significant soft tannins with a nice level of fruit. Really enjoyed it with my Pork Osso Buco. Elegant. Years left.

Color: Ruby with slight bricking Smell: Earth, tar, roses, dried red fruits Taste: strawberries, fruit leather, and hints of tobacco Overall: Nice and more modern in style...plenty of tannin and structure to last...but more modern than I would hope for.

Allowed to breathe for about 3 hours before pouring, then poured with aeration device. Beautiful wine with strong tannins, but with the aeration the tannins did not overpower the fruit. Great body and roundness with cherry as the primary note with an oak backbone that felt like exactly the right touch. Looking forward to trying this again in a year or two.

Agree with previous notes that this wine needs several hours of air to really shine. Last glass was best. Will revisit in three years.
