Nice bottle. Showing signs of age with a brick red color and a light cherry nose. On the palate, dark cherry followed by some earthy and barnyard overtones. Medium finish. Good food drinker.

(2/5) Decanted one hour, drank over two hours. Simple but enjoyable. I detected some cherry on the somewhat muted nose. The palate was rustic with some dustiness, darker fruits and very smooth tannins - paired well with Pasta Bolognese. A nice and impressively long finish. Never seemed to totally open up - needs more time in bottle.

A nice surprise. Deep red color. Rich, juicy fruit in the mouth with surprisingly ripe, mild tannins. Very good structure and length. Not very complex but delicious to drink at this time.

Surprisingly good. Nice nose of cherry and earthyness. Slightly drying tannins, but not strong or off-putting. Cut throught the fat in the lasagna. Only critque is that it was not very complex. The flavors appeared fairly straightforward with little or no depth or complexity. Nice long cherry tinged finish. 89-90

Very good. Pretty fruity - should be better with age.
