Dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, blackberry and tangy black cherry fruits with slightly earthy leather, hints of tobacco leaf, anise and cedar on a moderate tannin finish.
Dark in color, silky with black berry, fig and nice oak notes. Caramel and mocha come later with just a hint of tobacco. Good length in the finish but the acidity just doesn't drive it all the way home. Still a very good wine.

Great wine. Long finish with notes of raspberry. Very hot when first opened. Decanted for 90 minutes before drinking. Hit its peak after 3 hours in the decanter.

Waited too long. Over the hill. Not bad just not as good as it should have been. One note.

this wine is still going strong. tannins have mellowed. vanilla and sweet fruit up front and a smooth finish. not too complicated.
