Vanilla, cherry, strawberry, and oak on the nose. Opened up quickly. Medium bodied, well integrated tannins. Flavors of cherry, strawberry, cocoa. Medium finish. Most of the bright fruit flavors were gone by day 2, and the alcohol was becoming more prominent. I will drink my last bottle soon.

enjoyed over two hours at a blind tasting. several members thought this a right bank Bordeaux. (well, it is mostly Merlot and Cab Franc!) Others a Napa blend. lots of sweet blackberry and spice with some nice cedar and moca elements. fairly lush but not overdone with very fine tannins. long, complex finish with a bit of tart dark chocolate on the end. at its peak - drink within the next year or so. 91+
