A fairly warm, friendly bottle. Nose is not terribly expressive. A hint of bramble and some coffee. The palate is more rewarding, fairly suave with a bit of tannin whacking you on the roof of the mouth. Again more coffee notes, some black fruit, and a hint of leather.

$22.99 retail before discount. Expressive nose of smoked meat, with a light shoe polish note. On the palate, brambly / spicy, with a note of smoked meat. Fairly thick / ripe texture. Very nice.

$22.99 retail, before discount. Meaty, gutsy nose of smoked meat and black fruit. On the palate, thick, with roasted meat and dense, dark fruit. Solid underlying tannic structure. Good freshness. Impressive, and a solid value, IMO.
