Deep ruby red color. Black raspberries, blackberries, licorice and hints of chocolate and earthiness in the nose. Black currants, blackberries, black cherries, plums, and blueberries in the flavor with a hint of minerality. A complex wine, full bodied, well balanced with nice acidity and a long lingering finish. This was served with the dessert course which worked but this may have scored even higher with the main course. beef or lamb.

Beautiful nose of fruit and earth - blueberry and truffle, but well integrated … reminiscent of a winery at harvest. After 2 hours of decanting, good firm tannins, but well integrated. The nearly 15% alcohol is very well integrated, but obvious. On the palate, great structure, well balanced, blackberry on palate. Good acitic, but not too much … great with steak. Long finish.

Pop n poured. Dark fruit plum cassis. Nose was almost overwhelming stewed fruit but over time calmed down. Full bodied behemoth. Didnt think alcohol was too noticeable as other notes mentioned. Probably a quick decant would help for next ones

Rich fruit, so smooth. Good drinking window with some upside. Great with grilled meat.
