Dark, and quite filled with aromas of mulberry. This reminds me of my childhood when we would smell fallen and crushed mulberries under the mulberry tree in my backyard. There is also some sulphur in the aroma.
On the palette a dense liquid is balanced between the tannin, acidity, and fruit in a good way. Yet the wine seems flat and the fruit never quite emerges. What does emerge is some black olive and beef stew. The finish introduces some mushroom and barley. Medium length and overall quite nice.

Decanted 30 mins the wine looked fined and filtered, no sediment. Ripe black n blue fruit nose with a nice weight to it. So good that it disappeared very quickly.

I agree, lovely wine. Third wine of the night following very dry French rose and Wind Gap chardonnay. Voluptuous fruit on the nose, velvety on the tongue. Long finish. Irresistible -- bottle empty way too quickly. Congratulations, and thanks, to Bob and Lisa Behrens.

This is a great wine. Very nice dark fruit on the nose and the palate. Hint of earth and spice. One of my favorites from Berhens & Hitchcock.
