Last bottle of the case!. Dark Ruby, with legs. I sense nose and flavors of cedar, clove and gooseberry. The body is medium/full, leathery texture (increasingly as I go through the bottle) with a medium finish. Not bad, but not great or complex. This has probably peaked, but still decent.

2014 Italian Wine Tasting Event (Allesia's Ristorante Italiano - Mesa, AZ): Probably another year, or two left in the drinking window for this one. This has a touch too much oak for my taste, but nevertheless a very good wine. Big black cherry palate with lots of spicy character. Nice structure with medium-high acidity and tannins and well balanced. This flavor profile leans toward cherry too much for my palate and this kind of blend, but still an enjoyable wine.

Indeed very dark, nose of barnyard, earth, liquorice, black fruits. High dusty tannin, quite balanced acidity, very dry, and quite explosive mouth feel of favours of dark fruits, liquorice, peppery. Med length only.

Very dark purple. Full body. Dry on the palate. Plum and some spice.
