Better than the bottle I had last year. I had lots of leftovers from Saturday nights dinner so I heated up some steak, ribs and brisket and opened this wine. I gave it a couple of hours open before we started drinking it and that along with the choice of foods probably made the difference. The nose is dark fruit. The palate is a mixture of blueberry and blackberry, some tree bark and white pepper. The finish was moderate to long.

Blackberry and boysenberry on the nose and palate with earth and whole cluster notes that opens up after a couple of hours of air. Moderate finish. Long life ahead.

We opened and hour and a half before dinner. The nose was all dark fruit. The palate was dark berries and white pepper with a hint of tree bark. The finish was moderate. Served with pork chopes baked in a dijon rosemary crust.
