Dense & dark. Fig, prune/raisin, blackberries, black, cherry, some vanilla and baking spice. rich soil & wet rocks. A touch of smoke, Cedar and Sweet pipe tobacco. Lil reduction. Some grippy tannins upon open, well integrated after a 30 minute decant. Leather, medium finish medium -,acid but not flabby. Still great.

Rather more refined than I would have thought. With some savory notes to the front and back of the palate. Don't want to say stem but it seems like a little stem is there.

Toasted orange peel and damp earth on the nose, along with some violets. Nice acidity and tannins on the palate, with toasted oak and subtle fruit. Pairs really nicely with a juicy steak. Needs the food to really shine. This will keep at least 3-4 years, and may improve with more time.

Nice well balanced corvina with currant, fig, raisin over a bit of smoke and polished tannins. Decanted for 1 hour.

Beautiful, velvety red in the glass...this one is pretty! Intense, elegant, long...what a combo.
The attack is bold with hints of prune, plum & smoky bacon. There is also a fine herbal complexity in the secondary.
On the palate, it is intense with herbal scented prune and plum followed by savoury notes.
