This wine had such a full body and richness, almost chewy on opening. As it sat it revealed a soft, smooth round finish with lots of red and black fruit. Did I tell you about the oak?!

One of my wines of the night. Strange considering that I usually dont like big wines. Big, heady nose of black fruit, with a light hit of alcohol. Big bodied with a really complex middle. Had an unctuous, mouth coating taste of black fruits, earth, and light herbal note. Superbly long finish.

Rich, earthy, oaky despite french oak barreling, opened up to show a sweet cherry flavor. Delicious.

January 2013 CT Northern Virginia Off-Line "The Inaugural" (AngryPrez's home, Falls Church VA): This was one of the group's favorites so my score will be an outlier on the low side. I got an off-putting heat on the finish of this wine and found the tannins still a but rough and harsh. the fruit was terrific and I appreciated that but the tannins were distracting to me.
