Big, soft and flabby. Black and red fruits, all over done - soft but not a ton of structure. A sweet toasted oak aroma w/ black currants and raspberries. Def drink now - not getting better and probably on the down slope.

Dark black sweet fruit, with a licorice, currant and touch of oak. Well integrated and slight heat spike on the finish but drinking well. Drink now for sure.

A bit passed its prime. Blackberry, raspberry, cassis and cedar on the nose. Slightly hot on the nose and palate, probably because fruit has faded. Still good with food but if you have bottles, drink up.

Excellant blend...Full bodied, deep purple colors, strong blue and blackberry flavors, smooth on the nose and pallet.
