14.5% abv. Dark garnet/plum color, opaque core. Viscous, glass staining red tears. Dry tannins on pnp that fade after 60 min and offer hint of sweetness, however, a monolithic profile persists. Bold black and red fruit, plum, licorice all jumble together to show flashes of great fruit overshadowed by oak and blending. Throws modest sediment; not sure this has more than 2-3 good years left.

Deep opaque garnet color. Lush combination of dark cherry, plum, forest floor and a slight hint of baking spice. Needs to be open for about an hour to reveal its fruit. Well integrated tannins and a long brooding finish.

Deep impenetrable red colors. Nose of ripe red fruits, plums, earth and barnyard.The flavors were well integrated and a pleasure. Tannins still pronounced and puckered our cheeks. Decanted 45 mins before serving with a summer grilled flank steak, mature and ready but still years to go.

Dark and deep ruby color. Smooth but full of fruit, graphite and minerals. Paired very well with roast lamb.
