Beautiful dark garnet. Canned cranberry and red currant nose. Fruit forward, almost candied sweetness. Balanced with black licorice, anise and rounded with oak. Mid-length finish with just enough acidity and some signs of aging.

Popped and poured. Very full aroma of a bouquet of flowers with some blueberry. Blueberry and red cherry flavors. A little thin with a short, dry, slightly bitter finish. After about thirty minutes, the finish smoothed out some, and cranberry became prevalent. This does not need any more aging, and has probably crested.

Really like this wine. Went nicely with some beef tenderloin left over from New Year's. Black fruit and black licorice on the nose. Yes it's fruit forward, but decent weight mid-palate and a nice smooth finish. Had to persuade my wife to save our last bottle for another night!

Lots of stewed plum, blue and red berry fruit, light oaky tannins, minor pencil lead and slate notes.
